Are you able to shed more light on my (L)GPL concerns, and to suggest a solution to the folowing problem? I would be grateful because my son's school purports itself to use FirstClass and being able to use it from home would be nice. Also Linux is just starting to be introduced to the school in a minor way, and it would be nice to have a FirstClass client working under Linux to show off. bash-2.05b$ /opt/firstclass/fcc Looking for /opt/firstclass/fcc.rez - OK WARNING: Qt: Locales not supported on X server DEBUG: CFontMapper::GetLocalFonts() SysFont=Arial AppFont=Arial DEBUG: local=Avantgarde other=Verdana DEBUG: local=Courier [Adobe] other=Courier New Looking for /home/chris/firstclass/fcapps - OK FirstClass Client 7.031 << === Is this the correct version?
