I'm going off topic.
If QT3 apps run in pdaxrom, how does one know if an app is QT3? and if it will run in pdaxrom?
And where do you find such apps?
Also, I noticed the QT Configuration in pdaxii13-akita. Is this used to configure QT3 apps?
So in other words, absolutely none of the applications for Sharp/Cacko will run in pdaxrom, what QT3 apps work in pdaxrom and are they any better than their Sharp/Cacko counterparts.
Last question, what is the point of running QT3 apps on pdaxrom? Are these apps better than a pdaxrom counterpart?
Was that too many questions.

There is a BIG difference between QT and QT/E. Sharp/Cacko/OPIE are all based on some version of QT/E, Sharp/Cacko is based on the most ancient one of course, something 1.6.x whereas OPIE is based on 2.x.x
QT on the other hand is completely different. KDE3 is partially build upon QT3. khdrecord which I compiled for example is a QT3 app, as well as the Package Manager in pdaXrom and JustReader, TuxCards, etc...
and yes, QT config is used to configure QT apps
Sharp/Cacko apps are QT/E apps, they will not run in pdaXrom for many other reasons as well...
apps need to use some library to draw their windows, widgets, etc.. GTK2 (GTK+) is one commonly used set of library, but there are many more like GPE, QT, WX, TK, etc.....
Using just one set has its advantages, the look and feel is common across all applications and there is less memory requirements since they all load and share the same libraries which is what OZ/GPE is doing, ie they only use GPE libraries and thus some apps that are based on other libraries are not available...
pdaXrom on the other hand has support for many different libraries and thus sometimes the load speed of the applications suffers from this because the Z has to switch between these libraries. Most apps in pdaXrom are GTK+ based, although some are QT based and some are WX based. You can even use GPE apps in pdaXrom.
As mentioned before, having all these different libs available also has its disadvantages, besides slightly slower load speed when switching between those kinds of apps, there is also the look and feel issue. for example, look and feel for QT and GTK2 apps are configured independantly. The good thing of course, there is more apps available, more choice, more options, ....but this is not for everyone. some people love to be limited or have no choice at all because then they don't need to think or make decisions....
