</I>>>><i> Good, tell that to the owners.

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Yes, quite right, same as I do. We totally agree on this.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Now, how is this related to the issue at hand?

As a follow up on qcad, we have librecad rc2 in cauldren, which as
misc said is the qt4 port of qcad.
It has been working well for me.
