While not here yet, Opera is working on a version for RTP, and they have
a new newsgroup for it. At news://news.opera.no is the group opera.qnx.
Also, the press release on it:

i looked at those screen shots at qnxstart.com. Looks like opera has a
looong way to go… interface seems very incomplete… i’d guess it’ll take
them good 3 or 4 more months based on the screen shots. speaking of which, i
wonder how much longer it will be till qnx releases next major release…

Interface seems very incomplete :wink: ? What I see in the screenshots is just a
window with web contents in it, no interface at all…

Well, it seems to me all the work is in the HTML engine; I can’t imagine
adding back and forward buttons, a url text field, and some menus will
take 3 - 4 months. That said, a screenshot says nothing about how well
the HTML engine works; if it works well, then I think we’ll see
something fairly soon, if not then it might be 3 - 4 months, but not
because of buttons and menus.

You might want to take a look at how the Voyager client-server system works.
The UI is finished, it is called voyager. :slight_smile:

Now that’s interesting. You mean to say that you can use the opera engine
and the voyager interface?? Don’t have time to read any docs so I guess i’ll
believe it when i see it…

Correct. When you run voyager notice how there is a voyager and a vserver.
Notice the same thing happens when you run pkg-installer and helpviewer. If
you have PhAB installed take a look at the PtWeb widget - it provides the
encapulation of this client-server interface. The mozilla port also supports
running as a mozserver backend to the voyager front-end.

I don’t know the state of the qnx port but I choosed it on NT and Linux for few
month and I’m very happy with it.
news reader is a little bit strange, I don’t really like it but other features
are very cool!!
The UI is very accomplished, don’t stay on a screen shot!

Actually…i use opera on my windows partition. It’s simply my favorite
browser…yes - i like it better than explorer…once qnx has the following
things:

  • Opera web brower (coming…)
  • Rebol/View port (coming…)
  • Pepper text editor (coming…)
  • Solid Notebook support for a nice notebook under 3.5 pounds (don’t know if
    this will happen…haven’t seen any compatible subnotebooks with qnx yet)

I’ll no longer use windows. Not because I hate windows…but because i like
the quick and light feel of qnx much better…i mean first thing i see when i
open a windows folder is the clouds in the background…ridiculous…

Here is the link to text editor…p/s: i posted news about it on qnx a while
back…

http://www.hekkelman.com/

Really the best programmers editor i’ve ever used…but poorly marketed…
had an older version available for beos. Someone is working on a port for
qnx. Maybe if you email author about it…he’ll have more pressure to hurry
up with qnx port!
