| Directions from the Director |
What’s your problem? I mean your latest QL enigma. We all run into them – your program crashes, you wonder “If I only had a program to do so and so”, or your printer won’t print, etc. |

| From Out of the Ashes Rises T/SNUG |
We have just learned that Don Lambert from Indiana and Bob Swoger from Chicago have taken the bit in the teeth and begun publishing what SNUG hasn’t. We have seen the first issue of, (sit back now!) ZXir QLive Alive, an expected quarterly, supporting all of Clive Sinclair’s computers, with news and programs. |

Al Boehm demonstrated a world map graphics database from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) adapted for the QL. The Program uses run length encoded data to draw a map of the world or any specified range of latitude or longitude. The data permits resolution to 10 nautical miles. |

| QL Genealogist |
QL GENEALOGIST by Chris Boutal is a program that allows the user to prepare a family history. It is one of the best looking and operating programs that I have seen for the QL or any other computer. Although more than 100K bytes long, it loads in only a few seconds. |

| Remote Control by the QL |
Previous efforts to respond to and control the outside world with a QL have not been successful. Prairie Digital developed an A/D I/O (Analog /Digital Input/Output) board that was not particularly facile and had quality control problems. |

| Writing an Article |
Everyone likes to read newsletters and magazines about the QL. But before a newsletter/magazine exists there must be 1) articles and 2) an editor. (That’s me!) |

| Zip Code Printer Automation |
The April, 1991, issue of The DATA BUS from the Dayton Microcomputer Association had a BASIC listing to generate the Bar code at the bottom of the envelope. This code is called Post-Net code and is used by Post Office optical scanners to automatically direct mail. |
