QL QDOS And SMSQ/E Heaven is a QL-focused blog written by Artificer. It doesn’t seem to have been updated for a little while now (from the dates on the posts), but a trawl through it this weekend showed there’s still quite a lot that’s of interest in the blog if you have the time to […]
A small update has been issued for the Launchpad program launcher software. Andrei Tenu had spotted that recent versions had a Jobs menu which failed when run on QDOS systems with pointer environment, which was eventually tracked down to an issue with an extension from the Q-Liberator compiler. Per Witte was put on the case […]
Version 3.46 of the Q-Liberator BASIC compiler is now available to download from my website at https://dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/qlib/index.html The source files are also available from the page for anyone wishing to study them.
I love the fact that so much hardware development has happened recently on the QL scene. We’re in the 40th year of the QL and it’s such a joy seeing so much going on. I’ve invested in a fair bit of new hardware in the last year or two, between Q68, QL-SD, QIMSI and associated […]
Detlef Obermann has released early details for a QL event in Germany this year, as part of the fortieth year of the QL. We’ve already had an event in Spain this month, now we have this one in May and there is some early discussion behind the scenes for a UK-based event as well, although […]
For Christmas 2023, Santa brought me a set of 3D-printed Sinclair computer miniatures. As they’ve now been nicely mounted, and we happen to be in the QL’s fortieth year, I thought I’d write about these miniatures and show some pictures of them. They were a Christmas gift from my son, who although not a Sinclair […]

Javier Guerra (Badaman) has written a report about the event, with several pictures taken at the event. See the […]

Graeme Gregory, author of the sQLux QL emulator and other QL software, has announced a QDOS-gcc cross-compiler for Windows (32 bit) with mingw32 (a minimalist GNU For Windows software development environment). QDOS-gcc (and needed tools from xtc68) compiled for 32bit windows. Graeme has been working on this for a while with Q68 developer, Peter Graf. […]
QubLink v1.04 is a PE driven utility program allowing an easy way to manage hard and soft drive linking on different QL systems. It is in some ways a multi-platform variant of the well known utilities WINLINK (from G.Underwood) and QWIRC (from P.Witte) together. It works on expanded BBQL with QubIDE/Clones under QDOS/Minerva, Qx0 and […]
