# A Future for the QL

As you may have heard by now, we (PROGS) are working on a new windowing environment for the QL : ProWesS (which is short for “PROGS Windowing System’). A very early version has been shown to some people at the meeting in Eindhoven, and a slightly more recent version is currently distributed on the LINEdesign clipart Tr-Z disk and used by the hard disk installation program.
