Compiled in 2002 by [[qlwiki:Urs Koenig]] (former [[qlwiki:COWO Electronic]]) as a kind of birthday present at the QL's 18th launch anniversary. Includes and updated version of the [[qlwiki:QTop]] desktop suite, called QTop/E. Includes all public-domain and commercial (as demo versions) QL-Emulators for PC (DOS, Windows, Unix, Linux), Mac, Amiga and ST. The distribution is directly bootable in virtual QLs like [[qlwiki:QPC2]] (WIN1_) and [[qlwiki:QemuLator]] (WIN1_ or MDV1_/FLP1_) or with the [[qlwiki:QXL]] card in a PC.

 [[qlwiki:Gerhard Plavec]]'s 1998 collection of free QL software, including many of the software libraries of various European QL user groups (Germany’s [[qlwiki:QUASAR]], France, Sweden, Austria and [[qlwiki:QUANTA]]), Public Domain sources ([[qlwiki:QUBBESoft]], AmigaCD, MAUS-PD, MAUS-Ring, Internet and many others) and former QL businesses like [[qlwiki:COWO Electronic]], [[qlwiki:THORNADOSYSTEMS]], [[qlwiki:CST]], [[qlwiki:Dansoft]] and [[qlwiki:Thor International]]. Even some parts of this collection are outdated (all programs which got updated since 1998), the collection remains the single source for many other QL software packages (e.g. former QL businesses). The QL-PD/CD-R software collection is still available, either on physical media or - more convenient - as download on [[qlwiki:Urs Koenig]]'s [[http://www.qlvsjaguar.homepage.bluewin.ch/QL.html#DOWNLOADS|QLvsJAGUAR]] website. A 608MB sized QXL.WIN (virtual QL WINchester hard drive) with 30'849 files for QLers to explore.
