Ah, wasnt really considering that when I coded the CScribiaDoc. I was 
actually trying to integrate it better with the powerplant document 
model. The class itself is a powerplant LSingleDoc so i didnt think 
portability of that one was a concern. :) I'm not really experienced 
in writing portable code, so someone else will have to tackle that 
one. Would require a serious redesign of the app, not just a little 
tweaking. LSingleDocs are PowerPlant.

There is some macspecific gui stuff in there that i want to move to 
the window class, like the progress bar. Could probably just use that 
scrollbar which is already in the window instead of popping up a new 
progress window, that would simplify things.

No, according to the QT site, Qt apps can be under the artistic 
license. I think that's in the FAQ on the site.

I didnt look too closely at it yet, but i think the OSX 
implementation might only be X11. (not aqua) We dont want to require 
XFree86...
