[Xenocide-programming] PAQ explorer porting

[Ermete G. <ex...@li...>]

Hi all,
about the file archives subsystem, the PAQ explorer application (which 
manage the archives for developers) is still developed under the Borland 
C++ Builder environment and has some problems with unexpected crashes with 
Strings.
Hymie and me were talking about port the work on the .NET framework but 
there are some considerations to do.
First of all anyone who wants to use the program must install the framework 
too. I don't know if there's a way to compile it to be independent from the 
framework.
Second, we can also make it multiplatform using QT or GTK as graphic 
libraries.. anyone has some experience with them?
I heard that using MFC (windows, no .NET) would be like hell and anyway no 
multiplatform.
What do you think?
porting the project requires to reimplement only the GUI part and complete 
it with all features
