The Sinclair QL Forum

I thought we should start a list of titles which have been partly preserved to date, but where one or more files are corrupt - hopefully someone will look at this thread and might find a copy of the program somewhere we can try to use to create a fully working program.



* Astracom Modem Software
* CAD PAK by Datalink Systems (although we do have a copy protected one of this - protected with FLOAD) - we are missing the compiled v1.42
* The Dungeons from the Microdrive Exchange - written by Geoffrey Evelyn Jun 1987
* FROGGER by David Schlesinger (KS-SOFT from 1987)
* HARTUNG utilities (?)
* The Gee Gee System by Impacct Entertainments (this will be available as freeware)
* Coursemaster by Intraset Limited
* TOTO 13 by JceSoftware
* JOSS (?)
* Professional Poolster by Ocean Computer Services
* Pacioli by ZEATALINE PROJECTS LIMITED
* Plant Databank and Planner by Superplant Software
* QL Home Finance by Dialog Software
* Shrub Databank and Planner by Superplant Software
* Trivia-QLUE by RMG Enterprises
* Scriptula (?)
* TAB Editor - QL User Microdrive Exchange
* Task Master
* TaxCalc 1985-6
* TDI Pascal P-System
* TDI Fortran P-System
* Video Library

If you have any of these titles so may be able to help preserve them, let us know!

Another one to add to the list:

* QL Home Accounts Manager by Dialog Software

Not to be confused with QL Home Finance by Buzzz.

Which is quite a good program...but the memory problem...

What memory problem? I heard everyone has 896K now?

The program does run in its original version just on 128k. I think, it is absolutely programmed, although in MC. hf_ldr loads home_fin absolutely. There are ways to let it run with 640k I think. But there are a few other hickups. It just prints words with lower case letters (printout) and I remember of things like ser or par and flp or mdv. Would be good to have the source code.

List at start updated to add a couple more programs which I have partially rescued.

I read "Video Library"...hmm, there was a program from the german QL Club, where there was a program of that kind (was a kind of commercial one), written by Dirk Nitschke for Runtime Archive. It is enirely in german. I have used it for many years, runs perfect. I have tried to contact Dirk via Jörg Noa (both were founder and first chairmen of the club) but did not have success.

I am not sure if you mean this program

No unfortunately the video library is the VIDEOs system by Probact Computers - see:

Added Sidewinder as a corrupt program
