Hi All

Many thanks for your attention and "toolchain".

We do not have a special plan. In general our group is creating 
graphical applications for maritime navigation (electronic nautical 
charts, ECDIS...) For example we are interesting if it is possible to 
compile Qtopia for Jornada.

Best Regards
Efim
