> 2000/10/15 - Oslo, Norway - With its release of Qt/Mac, Trolltech has added
> Apple Macintosh to the list of platforms supported by Qt, an emerging
> industry standard in cross-platform software development. Application
> developers using Qt can now target Mac OS X with the same ease, as they are
> currently targeting Windows, Linux, Unix, and embedded Linux systems. Qt
> allows developers to create a single source tree that will run on all these
> major platforms.

> There are numerous features included in Qt/Mac, and among these is an
> extensive C++ framework for OS X, support for the Aqua look &feel, OpenGL
> support, database support and rich text support. Qt/Mac runs native on Mac
> OS X, of course, and is fully carbonised.

> "With the introduction of Qt/Mac, we can offer benefits to both our
> existing customers and to Mac users," says Haavard Nord, CEO of Trolltech.
> "Qt developers now have millions of new users they can target with existing
> Qt applications. And Mac users now has a completely new set of more than
> ten thousand applications that can run on the Macintosh platform."
> 
> Eirik Eng, Trolltech's president, said Trolltech had taken pains to ensure
> that Mac users would feel comfortable with Qt applications. "Qt/Mac has the
> Aqua look and feel, so all Mac users will feel right at home with programs
> developed with Qt," he said. "It is exciting to see Qt applications running
> on Mac OS X. The Qt functionality integrated with the cool look and feel
> the Aqua-style provides is impressive."
> 
> In addition to all the above-mentioned features, Qt/Mac has all the
> elements of Qt 3.0. The database capability gives Mac developers the
> ability to create applications that are both database- and
> platform-independent. Qt Designer is now a fully-fledged GUI builder with
> main-window development capability and, and an integrated C++ editor. Qt
> Linguist provides easy translation of Qt GUIs to different languages. Qt
> Assistant eases browsing and finding information in the Qt Documentation.
>
