Is the Technical Guide available as E-Book (e.g. PDF) or online?
If not, would it be okay to scan it and publish it?

Exactly my hero :-)
p.s.: Dilwyn´s page is now so huge, that it's difficult to find that stuff you are looking for. Well done!

Wow! The PDF is great :-) I haven't looked for typos (this could be a problem as in the German translation of the second edition of Stroustrups "The C++ Programming Language"), but the Layout is superb.
Finally you click on the arrow down/up to get to the next/previous page. Wasn't there a Quill some years ago.
p.s.: The latest (German) Edition (C++ 11) is superb (and without typos:-).

Don't worry the English copy of that book I had way back when was also full of typos

Just remember that this book is for QDOS systems. The QDOS/SMS Reference Guide is the equivalent for SMSQ/E systems.
Peter's point about the size of my site is very valid, even I have difficulty remembering where everything is! That's why it has the "Site Search" box. It uses an external search facility which is surprisingly good if you know what you're looking for.
Remember also that if you know something is on a given site, use Google's site: search - this in Google search (not tried it, typed from memory, sorry if wrong)
