RE: [linrad] Trolltech/Qt

["Robert McGwier" <rwmcgwier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Trolltech/Qt embedded version is not free and may not be
distributed.  Only Qt/X11 run on Linux is free.

This is all reasonably clear if you actually read the licenses
when you download and install the code.

I do not know what it would take to have Trolltech/Qt routines
linked into Linrad instead of the svgalib package. 
Once the routines are in place it should not be difficult at all
to change Linrad so it will use them rather than the svgalib 
package.

Have a look at vgatest. Are you able to convert this program 
to Trolltech/Qt? Then there is a need for mousetest as well.
If this conversion can be done and if Trolltech/Qt will be an 
improvement, converting Linrad should not be difficult.
