The keymapping is rather zaurus specific, and the mouse emulation would need changing for non-stylus input, but apart from that it's straight Qt. As far as I can tell it's endian neutrla and 64bit safe. > It might be worth seperating out the QT parts from the Zaurus parts, and > laying the code out something like this.

As stated above I think the only bits that would need changing would be the keymap and the mouse emulation - which can easily be seperated out into another source file. > Did you have to alter any of the core code to make it work?

In Qt, once you've called QPEApplication.exec() the only time your program will be given control is in response to Qt events - so I had to modify ARMul_Emulate26 and ARMul_DoProg so that I can call the emulator from idle events and have control return to Qt a short time later. It was only a simple change, and it's surrounded by #defines, so can easily be enabled/disabled as needed. It would be useful in a RISC OS WIMP port, for example :) > If you could chuck an archive of the source up somewhere so we could > have a check through it first that'd be most handy.
