| A Directory Printer | If you have just a few files on, say, flpl, a quick and dirty hard copy of the directory could be obtained by OPEN #3, SER1: STAT #3: WSTAT #3. Unfortunately, for more than about 25 to 30 files, the result is distinctly un-neat. Whence, the following effort to get a mite better organized. | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| Disk Mate - A Review | DISK Mate is a menu driven disk utility for files and disks, by Pal Monstad of NASA Computing, Norway. The program requires at least 512K and ToolKit II. | Sinclair QL |

| Files & The C-Programming Language | There are times when a program needs to access disk-based storage systems. Text files or data is normally stored or retrieved from a floppy or hard drive. On the QL, data files can also be transferred across the serial ports, in the same manner as a floppy drive. The subject of this article is the | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| QLEA - Quanta Subgroup Of East Anglia | Until three years ago, there had never been a QUANTA subgroup in the Eastern counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. A couple of abortive attempts to start a group were made, but it was Geraint Jones who finally managed to get a nucleus of interested QL owners to meet monthly at Thetford, a small town on | Sinclair QL |
| The Jochen Merz Story | Growing Up With Sinclair Computers I’m not very good writing in English. Well enough for you to understand my technical manuals, but definitely not for curriculum vitae. Anyway, you should understand what I’m talking about, and if not, condemn the German education system for being unable to teach proper English. The most interesting year was | |
| The New Teac 3.2mb Disk Drives | After recently adding a GOLD CARD to my QL system | began to think about taking advantage of the ability to use the new EXTRA HIGH DENSITY (ED) disk drives. Armed with my back issues of IQLR, I picked up a couple of computer magazines and started looking at ads that featured the 2.88 MB | Sinclair QL |
| The Russians are Coming! | Andrew Lavrov and Anatoly Tishin, both from Russia, are planning to design and manufacture a very powerful Sinclair QL clone as soon as possible. The machine they have in mind will not only be able to clone the QL, but should be capable of cloning any other MC680xx-based computer as well (Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, | Sinclair QL |
| This and That | The Intergroup Freeware Exchange (IFE) library has at last count, grown to over 145 disks of Public Domain software. This library, (available on 31/2″ disks only), maintained by Franz Herrmann of Germany is a virtual treasure trove of programs, (many of which are commercial grade) from all over the world. Without a doubt this library | Sinclair QL |
| Tidbits | The following constitute miscellaneous thoughts on how to (or, perhaps, not to) do things. I consider the first example to be an exercise in dangerous living, a disaster waiting to happen. I believe it is appropriately named. All that is required is some glitch just after the DELETE and all is lost! (I have actually | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
| Vaporware? | In the first issue of IQLR, eighteen months ago, we encouraged QL users to support a new group being organized by Dr. Sohail S. Bhatti, to be known as the QL Advancement Working Group (QLAW). The stated goal of this group was to create a SuperQL by pooling resources. Included with the announcement was a | Sinclair QL |
| What is a RAM Disk? | I’m often asked how to make a backup copy of a program when the user only has one disk drive. The simplest answer is to make a copy on a microdrive cartridge, then copy it back to the disk drive, onto another diskette. But what happens when the files are to large to fit on | Sinclair QL, Type-in program |
