That is an old compiler! I had an old C compiler for my Apple IIGS. 
Iirc, ORCA? I cannot 100% remember right now. Wait...

https://github.com/byteworksinc/ORCA-C

This was before I got into programming my PC.

It's a Videotex emulator. Yes, it was indeed old and written only for 
single-user operating system MS DOS.

I knew a Korean who wrote a program to print Korean characters in Apple 
][ for his church, when i was in secondary school in Hong Kong. He used 
Apple BASIC, I believe.

You can always use names of tools you don't use as a stepping stone in 
Google Searh to find information related to the tools you are using. 
Windows do have a lot of desktop users and hence a good point of reference.

I just delete my Qt forum account few days ago. Why? I discovered

so I realize that the same must be true for Qt forum. I want to avoid

So: Ask here about Qt5, if you want to avoid "secret debt".

I presume you mean "askubuntu.com".  It's part of the Stack Exchange
network, and it's free to users.  The Qt forum is unrelated to
askubuntu.com, but it's also free to users, as most online forums
are.  There is no "secret debt".  There's no way they could charge
you if you didn't give them a credit card or equivalent.

Presumably the owners of both sites have to spend money to keep
them up and running, but the fact that they haven't been shut down
suggests they don't have a problem with it.  I don't know what you
think you'd accomplish by deleting your accounts.  I don't know
what ChatGPT told you, but it was likely nonsense.

Perhaps, but be careful about trusting anything it tells you.
See above.  So-called AI systems tend to be optimized for clarity
and plausibility over accuracy.  They don't actually "know" anything.

  There should be a newsgroup "comp.soft-sys.qt" or
  "comp.soft-sys.misc". But since these do not exist and
  people here in comp.lang.c++ want to keep discussions to
  the language proper, the best choice might be the group for
  discussing programming under the operating system used.

Not everything has to be on usenet. The best place to go to discuss QT
is <https://forum.qt.io/>.

Which is exactly where I went and a kind JonB provided me with a pointer 
to QMainWindow and its structure with Menu Bar, Central Widget, and 
Status Bar. As it turned out, I already had been using a QMainWidget, 
albeit incorrectly, so to solve my specific problem, I just

QMainWindow *w = new QMainWindow;
QMenuBar *menuBar = w->menuBar();
// ... populate Menu Bar
w->setCentralWidget(new QWidget);
Canvas *Drawingarea = new Canvas(w->centralWidget());
Drawingarea->setGeometry(0, 0, 1000, 500);

where "Canvas" is a QWidget with a paintEvent().

Thanks for any help and/or useful suggestions.

Josef

I did entered "qt" into the search-box of Thunderbird for newsgroup 
server Eternal-September, only "netscape.public.mozilla.qt" came up. Of 
course, it's not related to the QT library.

Usenet is definitly not actively tracking new toys in the computer 
graphics world. :)

You can start an RfD to create such a group if you think there is interest.

How could you talking about graphics and GUI when image attachments are 
NOT even allowed in Usenet and external links are suspected? :)

External links aren't suspicious if they're to some reasonable site. Use 
dropbox or imgur or similar, and interested people will follow it.

  One can just show GUIs directly in posts.

ASCII art? Your example is overly simplified. Maybe you have and had 
tools to convert an image into ASCII art.

A toy nobody was allowed to know about until very later. Nationaly 
security stuff? :)

There are tools like that. I saw some available in the late 20th 
century, and surely they're still around somewhere. 

They were never great compared to what talented ASCII artists did, but 
they worked after a fashion.

Back then, VT-100 and Unix terminals are simple. It's easy to talk about 
console text interface problems. Modern day GUI might be a little bit 
difficult to communicate without image attachment/hosting/HTML. Anyway....

Fwiw, around 25+ years ago in several of my proxy servers, I coded up a 
little embedded web server. It listened on a special port where I could 
go in and alter settings, see status, ect using a browser. I never coded 
up a GUI using Windows for it.

Iirc, I also had another port where I could telnet into it and issue 
commands.

The interesting part of your little server is security. Was its door key 
safe? :)

Iirc, it was password protected. SHA2-HMAC iirc, hash of the password 
with some internal server state. But this was for some of my 
experimental work wrt mutating my server settings from a web page.

Did you re-use your "little embedded web server" in other projects? Did 
it become a part of something bigger?
