Hi,

I had the honor to work with the guy who wrote Qtext (Itzhak Mintz), and 
I tried to convince him to release the source. At that time I discussed 
it with people on the linux-il list, and there where some who were 
willing to do porting for linux. Eventually, I don't know for what 
reasons, he decided he won't release it. But it seems that he is at 
least willing to consider it. So maybe if enough people ask...
