... just sent me another text message that he might be longer than expected offline: Tesco + BT blaming each other. Jochen
Re: [ql-users] Dilwyn
I got the same text - BT (the phone company) and Tesco (his ISP) are pointing fingers at each other. In the meantime, Dilwyn has no phone at all - either for voice calls or email/internet. Seems to think it will be some days before it is resolved. cheers, Darren Branagh, Bank of Ireland - Cards And Loans Business, Nassau House, 33/35 Nassau Street, Dublin 2. Ireland.

Re: [ql-users] Dilwyn Jones
I'm back! (oh no they all say). Had a problem with my home telephone which also screwed up my internet connection. It happened at an awkward time when people were trying to get hold of me regarding Launchpad. Thanks to Darren for putting the message up here. Modern life seems to be impossible without a phone and internet connection! I downloaded the demo of Launchpad from his web site, and have found that it will not unzip ... it just hangs with : inflating : filelist_txt inflating : config Anyone else experienced difficulty or success ? -- Malcolm Cadman I've not had reports, but I can send you a copy on disk to try if you send me a private email with the address to send it, in case it's due to download problems. The version 0.90 on my page has a number of problems in terms of program bugs. I'm close to putting the next version on my website - thanks to everyone who got in touch with bug reports and suggestions for new facilities, especially Fabrizio Diversi, whose suggestions have allowed me to add a couple of useful new facilities like SBASIC program execution, and John Hall and Marcel who got me to add the DO NOT SET options for DISP_SIZE and DISP_COLOUR. I'm glad I was persuaded to release a trial version like this, it's proved its worth in terms of testing, getting feedback to add new features and improve ways of doing things. With luck, full release at Byfleet Quanta workshop. I know Darren is going to be there, if I can get someone to cover my saturday night shift at work so I can travel down saturday afternoon I hope to be there to demo it in person. -- Dilwyn Jones

Seems to think it will be some days before it is resolved. In fact, there were quite a few coincidental factors involved, but it was partly down to changed BT settings on my phone line and an error by Tesco.net's helpline staff in updating my details. Suffice to say I was somewhat less than happy with both companies, especially after the time spent on Tesco's £0.50 per minute helpline and finding it was mostly due to their error. Once the BT end of the problem was found, BT fixed it quickly fair play (under one hour). Thanks Darren and Jochen, life has proved difficult without telephone and email! And after this morning's conversation with a very helpful member of Tesco's helpline staff I am more aware of the problems they face in manning (personning?) such helplines. -- Dilwyn Jones

Hi All, Just in case anyone is trying to contact Dilwyn by email, he is currently experiencing problems with his provider, and he is without email or internet temporarily. He sent me a text to tell me or this - hopefully he will be back online by tomorrow. cheers, Darren Branagh, Bank of Ireland - Cards And Loans Business, Nassau House, 33/35 Nassau Street, Dublin 2.
