| A File Printer |
This program grew out of a want for neatly paged, dated, and identified file printouts. The original version handled only SuperBasic program files. However, when the basic (no pun intended!) similarities between SBasic and text (ASCII) files became obvious, the program was expanded to include text output. The primary difference is that an arbitrary range |

| Banter - A Banner Program |
Some time ago, I was approached by my young daughter who wanted to produce banners on the QL. Unfortunately there was no easy way to do this and her request went unanswered. All that has now changed with a piece of software entitled “BANTER” which was written by Nick Ward and is available from DILWYN |

| BASIC CPORT - A Review |
Up until now it has been “long time no C” for SuperBASIC programmers. But now through the aid of CPORT, SuperBASIC programmers can convert their code to C and take advantage of the speed and enhanced performance of compiled code. CPORT was developed by Charles Dillon, and sells for $179.00 U.S. Distribution is through Digital |

An interesting piece of mail arrived recently, it was a disk version of DILWYN JONES COMPUTING catalog. We thought it a novel way to deliver a catalog, as a matter of fact we like it so much, that we are willing to pass it on to anyone who sends a formatted disk and postage cost. |

You may have noticed that most software authors use filenames ending with “_BAS”, “_OBJ”, “_BIN”, or other three or four character endings, and wondered as to the significance. |

As a veteran of some six years of using TASKMASTER as my multitasking control software in a gradually improving hardware environment, I have had many an occasion to be thankful for it’s fine characteristics. Among these, I would cite particularly the ease with which one can jump around amongst the four Psion programs. These have |

Miracle Systems are about to launch three new products, the long awaited GRAPHICS CARD, the PC CARD, and a SCSI INTERFACE.

| Our Readers Speak |
As the publisher of IQLR, I have the opportunity to hear from a large number of QL users worldwide. I’m constantly being renewed by the encouragement and enthusiasm of QLers. Their loyality and steadfastness in support of our little machines, is unmatched in the computer world (and they said the QL was dead). |

PRINT_MAC is my first C program, while not very sophisticated, it prints MACINTOSH screen files (sometimes called ReadMac files – I think ReadMac is a Macintosh program) to an HP DESKJET printer. The program has minimal error checking, and has been compiled using C68 version 3.05. |
