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.
