Qt is a multiplatform C++ GUI application framework. It provides
application developers with all the functionality needed to build
applications with state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces. Qt is
fully object-oriented, easily extensible, and allows true component
programming.
<p> Since its commercial introduction in early 1996, Qt has formed the
basis of many thousands of successful applications worldwide. Qt is
also the basis of the popular <a href="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</a>

distributions.

<p> <ul>
<li> <b>MS/Windows</b> -- 95, 98, NT 4.0, ME, 2000, and XP
