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 […]

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.

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 […]
As I’m getting a large number of “where’s the QL homepage gone” type emails despite my extensive efforts at publicising the change, I’m assuming QL users don’t read extensively published information (Forum, ql-users list, blog, Facebook, redirect on old site for weeks for example) The old site (the domain especially) was a never ending source […]
