I aked Haarvard Nord from Troll 
(http://www.troll.no) if it is possible to 
port the QT class library to OS/2, his 
answer:

"We would need to sell around 250 Qt 
Professional licenses for OS/2 to cover
development costs, marketing and general 
expenses related to this.  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.
