Here again, I never knew about this -- always thought Qt was a GUI API=20
for Linux. Will investigate.

In the meanwhile though, I have tried Monodevelop and console apps and=20
Winform apps went smooth, but a GTK+ sample failed, apparently due to=20
issues with Windows 8.1 not processing paths properly.

I also tried Visual C++ and all went well, but since it also installed=20
VB, I thought I'd try that, and it was *very* easy. Within a couple=20
hours I was able to get a basic serial terminal example coded and=20
running.  Code is much cleaner to read, and considering how many books,=20
and online videos/tutorials there are on it, I'm leaning that way right now=
..

Cheers,
-Neil.
