I've never used those versions, no, so I can't really comment. Maybe someone else might have something to add, failing that, give them a try and see.

Re: Oh Hum, The Wiki Has Been Spammed.

I know. It's still a right PITA, even to sort out one spammer.

You can get better versions of the Psion programs from Dilwyn's web site, the home of everything QL. The psion stuff is at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/psions/inde...

I still can't find them. :( I sent my microdrives off to the software museum to be preserved as Giorgio has ways and means to read very old very fragile cartridges. Oh yes, my ...

But why? Or what? You'll have to wait and see I'm afraid. ;) Too hot to sleep here tonight. :( Cheers, N...
