So the QL was ten years old this year. Well it looks more like it ’s growing like a new born babe. |

To those who have had little or no training in accounting it should prove a boon as all the terms usually employed by the accounting fraternity are deliberately absent. Instead it relies on a good tutorial, common sense and a help facility. |

One area of programming that is especially well represented on the QL is file handling. This is hardly surprising really since all information held by a computer is in a file of some kind and the one thing you learn early on is that making backups stops headaches and large dents in the wall nearest |

| Q_Liberator A Review |
Q-Liberator, in my view, is one of the three most important QL programs in the current scene, with Turbo and C68 making up the other two. Much of the commercial QL software available is written in SuperBASIC, and compiled with one of the two major SuperBASIC compilers. While probably the bulk of non-Pointer Environment (PE) |

This issue I’d like to discuss Sony ED drives. First though, a few updates to last issues firmware lists for disk interfaces. Update the Miracle Super Gold Card firmware to 2.49. Apparently there is a version 1.17 Cumana rom in existence. If anyone has access to one please let me know. Also add QUBIDE to |

| QUBIDE version 1.28 |
QUBIDE is an IDE hard disk interface for the QL. Before describing it in detail, I’d like to explain how this interface ever came into existence. Months ago, one of the discussion threads on QBox was some wishful thinking about using IDE drives on the QL. IDE was discussed for some time when Zelijko Nastasic |

| Quill With An Ill Will |
Recently, I stumbled across an anomalous (actually, berserk might be more like it !) behavior of Quill during the attempted editing of a large (106060 bytes) imported file. Memory should have been no problem; I was operating with Super Gold Card 2.49, with the assistance of Minerva 1.97. |

| QXL In Command |
The QXL uses the PC’s hard disk by formatting a segment of it for its own use. The segment can be 1 up to 66 Mbytes in size. The QXL manual warns not to go higher then 63 but I (Al) have successfully formatted 66 Mbytes on several computers without any trouble – so far. |

This article illustrates my trials and tribulations with some workable ideas pertaining to renewing printer ribbons, including some pitfalls.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the three systems listed above, understandable perhaps, as the initials on their own mean very little to the uninitiated.
