Hi Fons,

sorry if I hurt your feelings. Let me know when you are in Amsterdam next time. I
will offer you a dinner as my apology.

Anyway from you previous mails it sounded like we agreed and you promised to do
Qt/ROOT keyboard interrupts/timers/etc. if I provide ROOT with Qt dialogs in
return.

Comments to win GUI development:

1. Let's talk about it when win GUI is done.
2. Even if it is done it will never stand competition with Qt or other professional
libs.

Regards,
Anton
