I would have thought that the extracting of the parts you needed ( i.e. the "view" ) would have been doable from a OO design standpoint.. but ... you know the code certainly... Thats why I felt brave enough to suggest it anyhow. And in any situation, Qt would be a bad solution and something like XUL or somesuch might be better. I was hoping ( from what little of the source code I've been able to glance over ) that the basic structure of the RG file format and perhaps even some of the rendering techniques could be adapted to work... > Oh, and NS doesn't existing anymore, so to be of any relevance it would > have to be an IE plugin. Again, I'm not very good at anything, but I DO know the Mozilla plugin structure does work. And Konqueror uses the nsplugin method to suck Mozilla plugins ( ala flash ). So, even getting a plugin that works on, say Mozilla Firebird, would be wonderful, imho. Firebird is such a better browser anyhow. :-) -- Dan Ostrowski ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
