Hi Norm, Good evening ! I unzipped the "unzip541xq.bin' file in my Windows 7 computer - this is the easiest option to me. Its output is a folder named as upzip541xq with various files. I have transferred the whole folder back to my Xubuntu laptop. Inside the folder, there are these various file...

My laptop is running Xubuntu 16.04. I have managed to install and run uqlx2017 on it. Also SuperBasic runs OK inside uqlx2017. My next thing to try is to run the Psion Suite inside uqlx2017. I have downloaded the zip files of Abacus, Quill, Archive and Easel from here: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/psions...
