 SMSQ/E can have different Langauges included, how about Welsh being
an
 option to be included. The language files could be loaded at boot.

 And as you know, I lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne for 9 long years...
I
 suppose the Geordie lanuage could be installed.

 Wot Ye saay Hennie... I think I need Bill to help out here.
Georgie...I seem to remember something Darren Branagh sent me about a
Geordie version of Windows, or Windaz as I think it referred to it.
Quite funny. Think the smsq/e module could be called Monkey or
something.. :-)

 Err, I'd never thought about it, and now realised (in English) one
 possible
 translated acronym for SMSQ is not a nice four letter word. Could
 always
 contrive a more polite one I suppose. Assuming that SMSQ stands for
 Single-user Multitasking System QL of course.

 QL: if you accept that Quantum Leap is smallest possible leap, it
 would be Cam Bach (CB) or Cam Mawr CM (if Quantum Leap is interpreted
 as a giant leap)

 As the Welsh alphabet has no letter Q (c is used for hard c, k and q
 and s for sibilant c and s - why have more than one letter for a sound
 which is the same?) this is unlikely to...ah never mind.

 On the other hand, I did once patch Config to have all Welsh prompts
 which was alll well and good until I accidentally sent it to someone
 on a DJC disk and probably confused him somewhat.

 If you aren't sorry you started this by now you never will be.

Taking a quick break off my studies (Btw: for whoever hasn't seen it my 
previous @dokos-gr.net address doesn't work anymore)... I only have say 
this:

Be afraid of Danaii (Greeks) bearing gifts ;-) (But of course nobody

I'd rather this discussion hadn't started today of all days.

World war 3 started about 4pm this afternoon when some stinky
little kid came into the garage, where I was minding my own business
sorting out a delivery. Next thing I knew, my shoulder was wet. Turned
round, there was this snotty nosed 7 year-old little tw*t who'd just
taken a
window cleaning spray off a stock shelf, taken the plastic off and
started
squirting it all over me and the shelves. So I snatched it off him and
told him to leave the shop. Next time I went out to the forecourt I'm
accosted by a gang of the little f***ers wanting to know why poor
little Ricky was banned. Actually, I hadn't banned him, it was the
boss who'd said he was no longer allowed in unless accompanied by an
adult, but he seemed
happy to get sympathy by telling everyone his own version of the story
which bore no resemblance to that recorded by the cameras - never let
the facts get in the way of a good story. Next thing, his mum is in
wanting to know what's going on. Step forward staff witnesses,
including the CCTV system, off she goes in a huff after one hell of a
scene. Later, there's writing all
over my car, surprise, surprise. As I'm having to work there by myself
this weekend, including late night saturday and early morning sunday,
I am only half
expecting to come home in one piece. It's only a little Anglesey
village but
you'd think it was a war zone there sometimes.

Clue: guess how many 'Rizzla' cigarette papers that place sells
compared to loose tobacco? You know what I mean don't you?

So excuse me, my sense of humour died  a horrible death this
afternoon.

Doesn't help that my wife's friend got summarily dismissed today from
the firm my wife works for, for nothing more than getting stressed and
ill by far too much work being dumped on her with impossible deadlines
by lazy colleagues and arrogant bosses. Except she wasn't summarily
dismissed, she was handed a piece of paper to sign saying I resign.
I won't repeat here what she was told would happen to her if she
didn't sign it. The phrase 'climate of fear' springs to mind.

Third world slavery? Come to Wales and try some of our employers!

Yes but how about writing it Welsh then... that would sound better I
guess
