Re: Speed Screen Fudge 2 Font editor

I have this from Simon (who isn't on the forum) : " I do not recognise the screen grab and would never have called it FUDGE in any case. Strange that my copyright is on this apparently patched version. A source-code version of QLUDGE is part of Turbo Toolkit unless I’ve misremembered. That is a...

New QL repair / upgrade video

The Retro Shack channel has started a project to get a QL up and running and possibly improving it.

Re: Sparrowhawk aka Jean-Yves

Drew has spoken of a third volume but not heard anything about it for a while. DDR in book form, He manages to move all the characters around and achieve the required end result.

Re: Sparrowhawk aka Jean-Yves

Re: New Forum

OK my next tuppence worth.

Now the banner has been shrunk can the animated dots and lines be shrunk to the same height ?

Re: Today I Received...

Not today but in the past week or two ... 1) Raspberry Pi-400 - a very neat little Linux box with ARM 64-bit architecture. So far I'm struggling to find software / apps that run natively on it.
