Thank your Mr Deiling you are right on the money. I'd not dug deeply into kwq, 
but I did see NSObject, NSScreen, etc. Now I see that NS stands for NextStep. 
(Netscape? I thought. Surely you are kidding me!)

My strategy for the port, is to first get KHTML to compile. It wants to compile. 
  Those files that don't comple have an error or three at most. I can then test 
the dom and the parser as command line applications.

Once this is stable, I can work on porting Kwq.

Part of the problem is that I am going to have remember how to program at this 
level.

I was flustered that there was no unsigned long long with VC++, after a little 
thought, it seems that __int64 (signed long long) will hold plenty of 
milliseconds for a timestamp. I'd thought MAX_LLONG == MAX_ULONG at first. Four 
years of scripting languages!
