The version of Paul's qt3 stuff that I have here shows the appended GPL licensing. I'd be pleased to make a zip file of these and the two additional files with no copyright info. Contact me off list and I'll forward the 12k file to you. Rayh 1 -- * Description: qemccommand.cc * Functions to

There is a way around it if we find that Paul successfully raises the proprietary flag with the work that I encouraged him to do with qt3. Smithy Company has purchased a written from scratch version of a QT4 EMC library that will be LGPL copyright. This should be available before long. Rayh O

I had someone mention this a while ago. I tried to find it to understand what was being mentioned, but either was looking for the wrong thing, or didn't understand what was being said. I'll try to look into it some more. The only reason I mentioned Qt is I already on the learning curve on it.
