What, you talk out of your a## - no comment :)
Oh please go ahead... comment (You owe me that much after the drill thing ;-) heeheeehee)
Actually thanks for the Kudos but you have actually missed the point of the 'complex piece of software engineering'. The intent of QDT is to make things as simple and intuitive as possible. The installer is (hopefully) a case of this. With the easy install, the software scans and builds everything for you (assuming you have standard setups such as a single boot file, etc).
Nope my point was that because SMSQ/e versions have changed so rapidly and stability esp. for Qx0 platforms (which is the case with David McCann from what I read here) is still shaky - the last rock-solid SMSQ/e version for Qx0 (both Q40 and Q60) that I have was 3.00 after that many things based on the PE (with the notable exception of QD which regardless of the state of the OS cannot be killed! proves how stable and how evolved QD is) crash and disappear without notice. This of course happens less with C68 compiled applications (such as QDT) but nonetheless it happens. I am still trying to figure out why QDT (At least the beta version I have) hangs the machine as what I thought it was (see private message that I sent a couple of days ago) wasn't the case.
Things are drag and drop, context sensitive menu driven, etc., etc. I would say that at least half of the engineering has gone into the interface and usability itself.
But you will see as soon as you get your hands on it (at least I hope so) :)
Oh I will get it :-) You know that already don't you?
I don't know about the stability of SMSQ/E on Q40 or Q60 but QDT has been installed on these systems with no problems.
And on others with problems ;-) It depends on many reasons I gather and I am still investigating :-)
