Hi,

Tony Tebby supplied SMSQ/E 2.99 which had the QXL assembler code in.

I do not see that on Wolfgang's web site, but I have a copy of it.

Which is strange, as I was depicted as a software pirate in the QL Today article, vol7 Issue4 p22, I do not understand what Tony Tebby was talking about in he seems to think (we: D&D Systems), which is clearly wrong. There was no with-holding of any royalty fees, on SMSQ/E, everything was paid.

Unlike some other QL Traders at the time, oh yes, I am not a trader, just a enthusiastic computer user, who likes the QL, in any of it various forms.

Sorry for the moaning, but this topic seems to jog bad memories of the past, which will be with me forever...


Regards,

Derek

Yes, that was the software that got open-sourced. I have sources going back to v2.70 or so, but "SMSQ for QXL" was before v2.40.

I have no idea how this is related to anything.
