I had Taskmaster in hand about an hour ago, due to some re-organising and sorting out empty boxes etc. I actually have a spare Taskmaster now (in folder with manual). I have a fully working (in Qemulator) mdv dump.

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proven excellent for mdv data recovery.

We are missing the 1986-7 version - presumably there was one!
I know this was 10 years ago, but I have a good version of the 1986-7 if it's still missing from the archive?
I now have TaxCalc 1986-7 as a working copy - just 1985-6 which is corrupt (tax3 file)

I was given taxcalc 1986-7 & Talent Cosmos as freebies, so don’t have any other versions (didn’t really want taxcalc but it was free so can’t moan)

Sadly taxcalc was working (after using mdump_task) and Cosmos is corrupt

There are 2 versions of Cosmos:
- English version - v 2.03 is newest, updated by RWAP, and works on any screen resolution and under SMSQ/E, cursor issue is fixed
- Spanish version - updated by Angel Lopez in 1989 - better menus and a bit more features, works only in 512x256 resolution. Works under SMSQ/E, but on anything faster than stock QL the cursor is too fast to select any star, even when using Slowgold or Slug

The hardware SLUG of Q68 or QIMSI Gold should do the job.

I do not see any reason why the Spanish version cannot be made freely available :)
