Greetings,

All this KDE and QT stuff. Fail to see what all the fuss is about, but I
had a go at building it anyway :-)

The QT library builds shared and hassle-free on my system, and all of
the demo programs (clocks, movie, full widget thing etc) work perfectly
:-) Guess my system must have a working C++ compiler.

Where abouts is the bug in the current C++ stuff; if it's just a library
I could upload one of mine (Mark does this make sense? would it work? if
not let me know as I use 1.2G)

I've not gone onto full KDE yet, but see no reason why this should not
work. At the moment, I'm not really motivated to because Demon keep
dropping my modem connection... If there's sufficient demand however I
might be persuaded to change my mind this weekend at cheap rate! Is this
GUI any good? (forgive my ignorance here!)

If not, I might be tempted to get it next week (we're getting a 128Kbits
line installed which wil help things somewhat!)...

neil$ ls -l /usr/local/qt/lib/

It's a big mutha, but

neil$ ls -l /usr/local/qt/examples/aclock/
total 46

the programs seem tiny.
