Batula is good. Bat isn't - and is unusable on MS-based systems in any case. I'll bite. Why is bat unusable on MS systems? I haven't heard anyone propose using .bat as an extension, which would certainly be a bad idea, but I don't know of any MS system programs that go by the name of bat.

Hi Kern! Less portable? I think that QT4 runs on all platforms that QT3 does and respect with the availability QT4 has been already packaged for multiple distros [0]. Another example of the QT4 portability is Krash (the first development snapshot of KDE4) [1], it uses a preview of QT4.2 and runs
