 ====== QLART ======
QLART was a graphics package by [[qlwiki:Eidersoft]] which contained four different programs to help you with program design:



  * A screen editor (ARTIST)
  * A character designer (CALLIGRAPHER)
  * A File Manager (FILE MANAGER)
  * A window Designer (WINDOS)


The boot program for the only version we have seen (v1.1) also lists a program (LOGO GRAPHICS) which shows as not implemented when you select it.


The start of the FILE MANAGER program is also interesting:


>100 REMark File manager --  strung together by Ken Browning
>110 REMark          Copyright illegal as routines were poached from
>120 REMark      programs written by G.kirk and others and the Copyrights
>130 REMark                  are retained by those concerned.

The author (Graham Kirk) went on to write [[qlwiki:MAXIM]] based on his work on this package, which was (according to his brother) written in the home of Ken Browning, who happened to be Graham Kirk's Geography teacher at the time.  Ken Browning was the person behind [[qlwiki:Eidersoft]].
