# Cable Column

I was pleased to see that in the October & November issues of QL World they gave considerable space to ARCHIVE, the PSION database program we all have. Those of you who have followed this column know that I have high regard for ARCHIVE and have tried to promote it use by more US QL users. Its programing language is what I do most of my QL software development in. If you are not using a database or running database type programs you are missing out on a lot of what your QL can do for you.
