I'm sure it could be. I'm not a Qt or GTK+ programmer, though, so I'm the
wrong one to do it (I'm very comfortable with Motif [greybeard tendency

anyone who has some experience with OpenGL to replicate in a more current
based client.

I'm merging both the webserver and the gopherserver into one big superhost
(the POWER6), so I'll do that after the migration.
