Tim,

Do you recall what work went into the mlt package? Any tqt work? I don't see any of that being done. Probably compiles fine against Qt3 but won't compile against TQt3. We are using a very old version, 0.2.5. The latest version, 0.7.8, still supports Qt3. Only the qimage module needs TQt massaging, which I succesfuly performed today with the old version we are using.

I'm thinking we can update to the latest version. I just want to know whether there is anything special I need to know before trying that.

Thanks.

Darrell
