I know, but there are specialist forums for both the ZX Spectrum and the QL :)

I also need to clarify a minor error in the article - I do not own the distribution rights to all of the QL software which is still subject to copyright - only about 20% at best guess. I have tried to track down and contact copyright holders, with some success (as a result of which some programs have been re-released either as freeware or as part of the QL Games packs).

However, there are just too many people to find and try to get a response from - I don't have the time or energy for this.

Absolutely correct Rich.

And we are at 1/4 of the work and when we will finish we will see together what can be linked and what not.

I will also try to start a ZX81 preservation project because I see there is a lot of MIA that need to be preserved and dumped correctly too.

Here there is the new site:
