I fear you may have mistaken me for someone else! I wrote a couple of very bad ql2bmp and bmp2ql utilities many years ago, but never a screen grabber. At least, as far as I'm aware!

Re: Norm's Blog and QDOSMSQ Web Site

Just to let you know, my qdosmsq Wiki is now, temporarily, offline. My hosting bill was up for renewal so I cancelled it.

I have backups of the site.

Any email addresses @qdosmsq.dunbar-it.co.uk will no longer work. You can email me at qdosmsq at dunbar-it.co.uk now.

Cheers,
Norm.

Another batch of spam users signed up to the Wiki recently. All from emails@genuine.zephyo.com. All of them have been binned. Interestingly, they all had the same IP address. Anyone on the Wiki who has tried to update or write an article, but cannot, needs to be promoted from "user" to &qu...
