Nicolas,
thanks for the help.
I started working on making kdat compile on kde 4.1 but it may take a
week or so. The code is very old and uses a lot of deprecated qt3
classes and old style iterators.

In the meantime I will request a svn access.

I also have a couple of patches for kdat on kde 3.5 that correct one
serious bug (the 99 byte block size) and enable drive hardware
compression.
Should I submit them to kde3? Only the bug fix, or both?

thanks,
GG
