How about just turning down the brightness on the monitor?
The QL Vision monitor had a nice knob for that.

That looks like it could be interesting to tinker with. Hope it can be released.

Digging through my collection of floppies, I found one labeled "Qtalk". Not sure where I got it. The handwriting on the disk is not mine. I created a floppy image file using dd and confirmed that I can read it with SMSQmulator. I zipped up the image file and it is attached here. Tim Swenson

David, When sQLux was released a while back, I created a example qlx.win file. It can be found here: http://swensont.epizy.com/sqlux.win (It's 2 MB). It has a number of directories and it has a copy of unzip. You can use this file as a boot device (win1_) or mounted as a secondary device (win2_). I ...

I've been tinkering with Qspread and I found that despite having rounding turned off, it will still round up larger numbers. If I type in a 6 digit number with a decimal (123456.5) it will display it as 123456.5. If I type in a 7 digit number with a decimal (1234567.5) it will display it as 1234568....

I wrote a program that can be used to step through Othello games, seeing the moves live. I tried reading a number of Othello tutorials, but the example boards/games were hard to see timewise. This program will take a list of Othello moves and display them one after the other (pausing in between). It...
