# Editor’s Forum

Well, it looks like another issues has taken longer that I would like. It’s been one of those “too busy to program” type of dry spells.

The only key item of news is that as I am writing this the latest version of C68 v 4.2 has partialy come out. I received the zipped version of C68 Runtimes disk #1. Dave Walker should be sending the rest of the disk out soon. Since I have Internet access I am on Dave’s mailing list for updates of C68. Dave prefers to distribute the package as a number of large mail messages. When I get them, I convert them back into a binary file and get them over to the QL. I then send a copy of the disks to [Don Walterman](http://localhost/indiv/don-walterman/) of QBOX-USA and to [Bob Dyl](http://localhost/indiv/bob-dyl/) of the [IQLR](http://localhost/category/periodicals/international-ql-report/). If I remember, I can upload them to a number of QL FTP servers on the net. The key ones are maya.dei.unipd.it and ftp.nvg.unit.no.

For those interested I have a new Sinclair Internet Resources List that has a number of Sinclair World Wide Web sites listed. The amazing thing is that there is a ZX81 home page out there. If you would like a copy of the list, send me a note. I tried posting it to comp.sys.sinclair, but I don’t know if I was successfull.

The last item of note is that I have finally broken down and bought some new hardware. I went out and picked up a new HP Deskjet 520 inkjet printer. It’s output is almost laser quality, esp. with the specially designed inkjet paper. This is not something I normally do. My last printer, a DWP-230 daisy wheel, cost a grand total of $1 at a garage sale. And it has worked for 2 years with out failure. It was only when I thought it died that I considered buying the Deskjet. (I forgot that these Diablo HI-TYPE II printers do run out of ribbon and will not print after that. And I thought it was dead.)

That’s all I have for now. Happy Hacking.
