I think this would be very difficult, because the OS/2 development community is much smaller than for e.g. Linux, Windows or Macintosh." One professional license cost $1,550. I cannot say anything about the quality of QT, developers told me that it is great. The question is: is there a demand for the OS/2 community? If you need QT, write to qt@buntspecht.de, with your address and number of licenses (please be serious). We (TeamOS/2 Deutschland eV, http://www.teamdv.de) collect this and will contact Troll. Moderator's Note: Qt is a cross-platform GUI programming library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
