Thanks to [CharlieChaplin from AtariAge|http://atariage.com/forums/topic/157358-quick-programming-language/#entry1931224] we can offer the following info:\\
!Background
Quick is a simple programming language intended to write high-performance code. It is similar to [Action] in basic concept, and differs primarily in its syntax. Like Action!, Quick is based on an ALGOL-like (and thus C- and Pascal-like) program structure, and like Action!, it allows variables to be assigned to specific locations in memory which makes it easy to interact with hardware registers. One might think of Quick as a public version of Action! in the same way one might consider [Turbo-BASIC XL|TURBO-BASIC XL|Turbo-BASIC XL] to be a (greatly improved) public version of [Atari BASIC].
AtariWiki deeply thanks [CharlieChaplin from AtariAge|http://atariage.com/forums/topic/157358-quick-programming-language/#entry1931224], so we can offer the following info:\\

Quick had been released as a type in listing in german Atari Magazin in 1989 by Raindorf-Soft (Harald Schoenfeld and Andreas Binner). It consists of three program files, the language, a compiler and a runtime (just like TURBO-Basic XL). The listing was version 1.6, but there were also updates available (e. g. via Quick-Magazines 1-15) for version 2.0 and 2.1. Alas, the versions are not fully compatible with each other, thus code used in version 1.6 does not nescessarily run in version 2.0 or 2.1 (or vice versa)...\\

There were also commecial sold versions, they were version 2.0 and 2.1 with printed manual and some programming examples. While Atari Magazin was german, its publisher made a deal in the 90s with Dean Garaghty in Scotland and thus some programs (like Quick, Screen Aided Management and others) are also available in English language and/or with English instructions. [dgs|http://www.dgs.clara.net/] still sells these english versions commercially...\\

The story so far, Abbuc e. V. holds all rights from CompyShop and therefore gave us the rights to publish Quick. To be exact, all German version can be published here, except the English versions of 2.1 and 2.2.. These two versions have to be obtained from [dgs|http://www.dgs.clara.net/], please see below. On the other hand, AtariWiki is free to publish the English version of 1.6 for free and there is a type in listing on the version to upgrade legally to 2.1.
