it was reported as being somewhat slow, wann't it written in a TIL,

Early Valdocs implementations were written in Forth, I believe later
implementations were done in C. Not positive about the latter.
I believe the Forth thing extended to their clone CP/M, called TP/M.
There are some subtle differences between the two. Done by a San
Franscisco outfit, with a name like "Friends-Amis"?
There is (or was) a ton of information out there on the QX-10,
including programmer's guides and technical/repair manuals.
Apologies to Andrew Lynch, but I found the 70-page NEC 7220 manual in
my QX-10 folder. If you're still interested, I can email you a copy.
I'd forgotten that I put it there.
