Congratulations to all those implementing the
GUI-independent code. I've got a KDE Copyright label!!!
Looking at the code, however, it strikes me that the text
of the labels should be defined in a class from which the
different front-ends pop-ups are derived. This
should ease maintenance when there are many front
ends. Apologies for stating the obvious.
Best wishes,
Angus
Something like:
#ifndef COPYRIGHTLABELS_H
#define COPYRIGHTLABELS_H
class CopyrightLabels
{
public:
static char const* const WhoText() { return who; }
static char const* const GnuText() { return gnu; }
static char const* const LyxText() { return lyx; }
private:
static char const* const who = "LyX is Copyright (C) 1995 by Matthias Ettrich,
\n1995-2000 LyX Team";
static char const* const gnu = "This program is free software; you can redistribute
it\nand/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General\nPublic License as published

static char const* const lyx = "LyX is distributed in the hope that it will\nbe

};
#endif // COPYRIGHTLABELS_H
Implemented as(in the kde front end):
In formcopyrightdialog.h
#include "copyrightLabels.h"
class FormCopyrightDialog : public QDialog, public
CopyrightLabels { ...
}
In formcopyrightdialog.C
void FormCopyrightDialog::initDialog(){
...
labelWho->setText(WhoText());
...
labelGNU->setText(GnuText());
...
labelLyX->setText(LyxText());
...
}
