QNX 4 is very old! I'm not even sure if the Wacom-based C compiler it ships with will be able to compile anything reasonably modern (we use C99 extensively). Have things changed on this front? > 2.

If there is an SDL port to QNX 4, it may build against that. > We assume this toolkit may be used only by the browser part to get the user > interface part.

Yes, that's how the various front ends work; the renderer is shared. > 3.

You get to write the code for that :) B.
