Dot Matrix Printout Required

Does anyone still have a dot matrix and some fanfold paper?

I have been asked by someone in Australia if we could supply a dot matrix printout to use as a film prop. Obviously they will pay for it, but it would be nice to have a QL listing appear in a movie!!

This has been sorted now - thanks

Alas it didn't require a code snippet, just a plain message printed out ...

Not quite "I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal."

It was some simple instructions to a character

I did some QL screens for a sci-fi movie short, and there's a possibility that might be expanded to a feature length or a miniseries. The premise is that a teen finds an abandoned 80s mini-shuttle that is AI powered and aware. It has a status screen that's run by a QL. Well, actually, by QPC on a book PC to two Dell 15" monitors that were de-cased and mounted into the console.

And how does the screen look like?

Wasn't there a "Sunshine" book about programming AI on your QL way back then? Looks like it might have worked!
