Ok this kinda makes sense. But what exactly is a 'slotted package', |
| 11 |
how do I determine when a packages is slotted, and where do I read |
| 12 |
more about 'slotted'? I see this term used ofen, but, really have |
| 13 |
no clue exactly what slotted means or if it has various meanings |
| 14 |
based on the context of it's (verbiage) usage. |

I'm looking at participating in developing software for remote control |
| 17 |
of hardware, SCADA, if that means anything to you. One of the guys is |
| 18 |
raving about QT4, so I need to install it, write a little code |
| 19 |
and play with it to form an opinion related to it's viability as |
| 20 |
a basis for open source SCADA development. Java is very nice, but |
| 21 |
many folks do not like JAVA, due to licenses issues...... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Hence the interest in QT4. |
