I originally started writing it using the Athena widgets, but couldn't work out
how to create a window to do straight X in, for the map. Its a pity that the
floppies were corrupted as they also included my copy of Motif on them. I haven't
looked at LessTif yet, I have a CD set of Linux archives which it may be on, I'll
take a look tonight.
What widget set does the KDE stuff use ? I rather like the look of it, I have to
explain that although I have no love for MS, I do like the W95 look and feel and
KDE applications are quite close to it. Is it Qt ?
The program was pretty full featured, things like squint angles on satellites like
AO-10 and AO-13 (R.I.P), etc. I think it even allowed for direct updating from two-line
sets. Although I am biased, I thought my program was nicer than Sattrack, having used
it for a while. I suppose we could build in support for the KCT based on the stuff
that Jean-Paul released a few weeks back.
Making it text only wouldn't be difficult, I don't think.
Unfortunately I'm not going back to the UK for at least three weeks, so we'll all
have to wait :-(
Once I have it here, I will immediately release the Motif version to allow people to
play with it while I get down to porting it, unless someone else wants to.
