> Troll Tech AS (http://www.troll.no) is proud to release Qt version 1.2
> (see LSM at the end of this posting).
>
> Qt is a complete and well-designed multi-platform object-oriented
> framework for developing graphical user interface (GUI) applications
> using C++.
>
> Qt 1.2 supports seamless integration with OpenGL/Mesa 3D graphics
> libraries.
>
> Qt is free for development of free software on the X Window System. It
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> includes the complete source code for the X version and makefiles for
> Linux, Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD, OSF/1, Irix, BSD/OS, NetBSD, SCO, HP-UX
> and AIX.
>
> Qt also supports Windows 95 and NT, with native look and feel. Code
> developed for the X version of Qt can be recompiled and run using the
> Windows 95/NT version of Qt, and vice versa.
>
> Qt is currently used in hundreds of software development projects world
> wide. For some examples, see http://www.troll.no/qtprogs/
>
> Qt can be downloaded from http://www.troll.no/dl/ or via anonymous FTP
> from ftp.troll.no. It is available in both RPM and tar.gz format.
>
> Qt has excellent documentation: around 500 pages of postscript and fully
> cross-referenced online html documentation. It is available on the web:
> http://www.troll.no/qt/
>
> Qt is easy to learn, with consistent naming across all the classes and a
> 14-chapter on-line tutorial with links into the rest of the
> documentation.
>
> Qt dramatically cuts down on development time and complexity in writing
> user interface software for the X Window System. It allows the
programmer
> to focus directly on the programming task, and not mess around with
> low-level Motif/X11 code.
>
> Qt is fully object-oriented. All widgets and dialogs are C++ objects,
> and, using inheritance, creation of new widgets is easy and natural.
>
> Qt's revolutionary signal/slot mechanism provides true component
> programming. Reusable components can work together without any knowledge
> of each other, and in a type-safe way.
>
> Qt has a very fast paint engine, in some cases ten times faster than
other
> toolkits. The X version is based directly on Xlib and uses neither
> Motif nor X Intrinsics.
>
> Qt is available under two different licenses:
> - Professional, for commercial use: see http://www.troll.no/pricing.html
> - Free, for developing free software (X Window System only)
> Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ.
