Q-Library Manager v2.0

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot from floppy. Tested in sQLux with JS ROM and 640 KiB RAM. With JS ROM, original_boot loaded from floppy, its length was recognised as 252 bytes and the QMW file prompt appeared. Minerva has display anomalies. Full library management and saving were not tested. Basic functional check, not a complete test or a test on physical QL hardware. Audio and saving are not certified. The timestamp is that of the IMG in the Working package, not the acquisition date of original media.
