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 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.

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

Andrew wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 11:29 am 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
