It wouldn't necessarily need ftp functionality, just the ability to talk
to ftp - a pipe, basically ;). And to know what ftp was talking about.

Heh, I hope I didn't imply I was going to go home and start writing one
immediately - I have *far* too much work on at the moment!!

c++ std is v. v. good ;) Actually, most KDE stuff is built around C++ -
that's one of the reasons I favour it. Code reuse is extremely high, and
you get a lot of stability from that.

I'm afraid you're talking to a gdb fan here; but I've not used kdbg, so
I'll probably be converted ;) As long as I can set breakpoints, inspect
data and control runtime flow, I'm happy. And see source code at the same
time. ;)
