Yes, that's a perfectly reasonable reason. I hadn't considered that fans of HP calculators would want to emulate their delights on legacy systems. Quote:X11 applications are not going away and backward compatibility is provided by XWayland so I have no plans to upgrade at the moment!! I'm not sure what the best modern cross-platform windowing/widget toolkit is to use. GTK's C interface seems to be trying too hard to be OO, and Qt does not support C. I haven't used any of them in anger though. Quote:That said I did almost give up on trying to get my code to compile using VAXC more then once! However, using a C compiler that old did actually teach me a lot (and not just not to avoid old compilers!) . It works the other way too when newer versions of GCC complain about things that seem perfectly reasonable! — Ian Abbott |
