Hmm, I think you should know that I am not really a c++ programmer,=20
I know c and java. And learned some c++ tricks over the time ;)

Naming the nodes seems important to me, but you might want to create a
wrapper class if you wish.

I don't mind making the core QT free, its just that I can't do it. I don't=
=20
have _any_ experience with STL, I never use the class string for example.
If you can provide the STL implementation of KPTDuration and friends,=20
i'm fine with it.
If it is to hard for you to do, then why not ignore the problem and pospone
it until someone wants to use the core classes.

I don't see the need for this, as its for a possible future new-gui. Then
I say, lets fix the thing in that possible future.

Again, if you want to do this in STL, I must warn you I have little experie=
nce
in that, but I will support that decision. I'll also try my best to master
the structures STL provides. (I'll borrow a book from a collegue or whateve=
r ;)

Your call.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
