| Disk Mate 5 - Version 5.07 | At the request of Bob Dyl, I have found myself reviewing another disk utility. However, I really didn’t know what I was getting into.

| ProWesS: QL Windowing Meets the Future | The good people at PROGs Professional and Graphical Software are at it again. We all know them from programs such as Line Design and PFList. They developed the Proforma graphics engine which brought modem vectored graphics to the QL. | Sinclair QL |
