In assembling the latest version of the SSS cd, I ran into an
interesting issue. Ribbonsoft (the makers of QCad) have decided to only
release demo versions of the QCad binary -- it terminates every 10min.
If you want one that doesn't terminate, you have to pay up.

As a result, I stayed with an older version on the cd. The code for QCad
is still GPL, and you can download it, but it requires Qt developers
edition to compile. This was beyond my ability -- and I would guess
beyond the ability of most of the intended SSS audience.

Since the code is GPL'ed, we should be able to download it and compile
it ourselves, yes? Is there anyone on the list that would be willing and
able to do this vor the next version? If not, should we continue to
include the old version, or would you prefer to drop it altogether?
(That would be a shame, it seems usefull.)

Any thoughts?

Dave
