Thanks - I have reached out to Colin about the QL software and making it freeware.

Thanks - I have reached out to Colin about the QL software and making it freeware.

I've got a Transform mdv here that unfortunately doesn't work called QL-Organiser. There are mostly very small files on the mdv and it seems most of the important ones (code files) have corruption. This is an example of the contents of one of the small files:

Code: Select all

FINDN:
LOCAL A$(20)
CLS
PRINT"FIND:";
TRAP INPUT A$
OP:
FIND (A$)
WHILE NOT EOF
I%=DISP(-1,A$)
IF I%=13
NEXT 
FIND (A$)
ELSEIF I%=1
CLOSE
RETURN
ELSEIF I%=66
BACK
ELSEIF I%=76
LAST
ELSEIF I%=70
FIRST
ELSEIF I%=85
UD:
ELSEIF I%=80
PR:
ELSEIF I%=68
DE:
ELSEIF I%=72
CLS
I%=COUNT
PRINT "RECORDS:";I%
VIEW(2,"FIRST LAST BACK UPDATE PRINT DELETE")
ENDIF
ENDWH
CLOSE
BEEP 200,200

Some kind of search routine? But for what?

Thats definitely the Psion Organiser's OPL language - Nothing for the QL.

Hold on! Could this be the software to connect a psion organiser II, to a QL??

Thanks. So these could be some kind of QL<>Psion Organiser connectivity applications. Interesting. Here is a full list of the mdv content:

• boot
  clone*
  names_pro_org
  pr_pro_org
  ptr_pro_org
  findn_pro_org
  de_pro_org
  ud_pro_org
  pm_pro_org*
  cr_pro_org
  add_pro_org
  ed_pro_org
  opb_pro_org
  opa_pro_org
  opc_pro_org
  boot_obj*
  boot_flp
  boot_mdv
  Qlib_ext*
  dir

* suffix for the corrupt ones.

Posted at the same time. Looks like it doesn't it.

You might have to try a few times to recover them, I’ve always wanted to try the psion connected to the ql.

I will try multiple times and generate a few images. If Colin allows them to become PD (hope so, it's not like there is any commercial life in them) I'll share all the images.
