Qt works on most any platform too, and it works on Nokia mobile devices as well. Heck, a Qt application can be easily made to run on a device that has not much more besides a framebuffer, a keyboard and a mouse -- that's what Qt Embedded is for. Anyway, I'm not interested in doing it with Java. I have experience with Qt. I believe that once the code will be ported to Qt, it will be way easier to hack on it, and the possible developer base will grow. As it is, the code certainly works, but it's plain old C and it shows. There are heaping bunches of stuff that should be machine generated. All I care for is some handholding as to the structure of the code. My starting point is to get the code moved directly into an XCircuit widget that exposes all the functionality listed in xcwrap.c -- this would be enough to get it running with tcl-qt or qtcl, while preserving full functionality of existing tcl scripts.
