Title Description Computers
Easy Pointer III - A Review 1 have of late, as anyone who reads the Quanta magazine knows, been experimenting with the Pointer Interface, and writing about my experiences to boot. In the middle of learning and writing about programming under pointer in assembler a package arrived from the States containing Easy Pointer and a request to review it from that Sinclair QL
Editorial There’s plenty of news to report starting with MIRACLE Systems announcement that the software for the QXL is near completion. Now any PC can Multi-Task, provided it has a QXL installed. Sinclair QL
Helpful Hint: External Keyboard-90 Interface This was an idea that I hadn’t considered of interest to anyone until Tony Firshman commented on it at the “MIRACLE in NEWPORT” show. I have been using Jurgen Falkenberg’s external Keyboard-90 Interface for several years and use a QL keyboard top that has a blank plate in place of the keys. I cut a Sinclair QL

Miracle in Newport - An Englishman's View When I heard that Bob Dyl was organising a QL event in Newport, it seemed heaven sent, as I had just given up in the infamous ’free’ Hoover tickets!

RDS (Random Dot Stereograms) Somewhere in this issue of IQLR there should be a page with lots of dots on it; dots that seem to be a random pattern, with a pair of small hollow boxes along one edge. If you change your focus while looking at a RDS and allow the image processing computer in your brain to Sinclair QL, Type-in program
Review of Image Processor 2 Image Processor 2 from Dilwyn Jones Computing is a powerful program to aid in editing or creating QL screen pictures. It includes handy and powerful utilities such as converting from one screen mode to another, removing color, changing one color to another, adding text, enhancing images, block and window handling and the ability to zoom Sinclair QL
SERMouse (Ver 3.01) - A Review SERMouse is a software driver that allows you to connect a PC type serial mouse to one of the QL’s serial ports. No disassembly of the QL is necessary. The mouse can then be used to control the pointer if you’re using the pointer environment allowing much easier and faster control than the cursor keys. Sinclair QL
