Seriously though, I must take this time to mention again that kdevelop is a
really nice IDE which is free, and has no royalties attached to it.  Yes it
requires that KDE be installed, but you'll find that those libraries aren't
large and that you need them to run a lot of cool programs these days.
Thats all I'm going to say about this...the guy who I was attempting to
explain this to before seemed to be more interested in *not* getting things
done than using good software, so I'll just leave it at that.  Sorry this
had to be my first posting to this list, I've been reading it and lurking
for a while...hopefully when I have something more substantial to say on the
subject of games I'll write again.
