Well, I don't have a current user manual. That's rather pointless for a 
now personal language.

I could upload a Windows binary, or that qc.c file, but that would be 
futile. I don't need to prove to myself that my language exists! And I 
don't care if you think I've been programming in imaginary languages 
using imaginary implementations for the last 4 decades.

Here however is a summary of these fictional tools:

You can see I put some effort into them making look real!
