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

Well, if you must have Qt, then I think I can help you :) There was a little bit of work done on a Qt<->NML interface a couple of years ago. It never went too far, but strangely enough, the "demo app" is a DRO :) I'll dig it up and either stick it on the wiki or I can email it (or even check

I am attempting to run HAL without the use of EMC2. As I have stated before, I want a DRO only at this point in time, and am not interested in the extras EMC offers. I have successfully run HAL as an internal (to the computer) program (using the function generator in the HAL tutorial and a co
