The Sinclair QL Forum

Well it seems that no-one knows why I can't unzip the Ediror in uQLx. For that matter, it wont run Xchange, although that will unzip. The solutions seem to be
1. Use uQLx for my astrology program, so that I can easity move data between that and Linux — recent Linux library changes mean that QemuLtor ...

I'm still confused. I thought I had a QL device, namely uqlx.win.

I was planning to switch from Fedora to CentOS, but I naturally did a test first to make sure that QemuLator would be OK. Shock, horror! It ran with the basic display (fine if you have ...

I found this board when looking for some information about QemuLator. The task was not made any easier by the fact that there's also a program called Qemulator, but DuckDuckGo came up trumps.

I got a QL back in 1985 and it survived endless upgrades until I replaced it with a Q60 to get internet ...
