The Sinclair QL Forum

I am not trying to have a go at anyone - just reflective of the difficulties anyone preserving QL software faces... I am still waiting however, to hear who is going to make any further progress vis-a-vis preservation and maybe accept any of the jobs I started this thread with. There is unfortunatel...

Hmm. Whatever you think is good, right or wrong - Go ahead and do that. But I would really appreciate if you'd stop trying to beat up the bad, bad "Spanish Guys". I pretty much doubt it was all of them , I pretty much doubt all of them are like you say and the last thing we need is two fo...

Oh well... Such is the lack of understanding of copyright law evidenced by the members of the Spanish forums Dont forget the differences of copyright law throughout different countries. E.g. here in the Czech Republic, computer software was not protected by law until 1st Juni 1990, as it was not co...

<snip> But to bring this back to the QL, being one of the less mainstream computers and having most software distributed on Microdrives, means that trying to locate and save a lot of the less well known QL software is tricky. It's hard enough as it is, without the QL community having an internal wa...

Of course, illegal coping will always be blamed for a loss of profits, or failure of a company etc. Regardless of the actual reasons. It is never that simple though. Humans and the lives they live, makes things rather more complex than a simple answer. In some cases, bootlegged music made an artist...

It could possibly have been even something like a Microsoft bot, as the site includes a download of QL Conqueror (and QL Success) both emulators, which rely on MS-DOS / DR-DOS and/or CP/M - oddly the MS-DOS / DR-DOS companion to Conqueror is not included in the download..... I wonder why.... Type &...

"However, my personal message to you was to ask why I was being attacked personally - it is right to have an adult disussion over the future of QL software and what form preservation should take, but unfortunately, no-one thought to even contact me before levelling insinuations and attacking me...

Hi, Not wanting to cause more problems, but the result of this action is a major rupture to the QL scene. The excellent hard that Jose produced looks to be unavailable, I think I would rather have more good up to date hardware and new software rather than old software that will not run on a modern ...

Salve a tutti. Sono Gaetano e scrivo da Catania (Sicilia) Italia. Ho 40 anni e sin da piccolo ho sempre amato i personal computer. Ho avuto il mio primo commodore 64 a 10 anni, poi zx spectrum 48+, amiga 500, 1200, che conservo caramente tutt'ora. Da qualche giorno ho riesumato un po' di vecchi cim...

Finally Jose have wrote here so I can explain well the situation. "This history is about one spanish guy called badaman. I think he is one of the two or three real QL user ( people that bought his QL in the 80 and still use it) that there are in Spain. He decide to leave the software he has in ...
