Kwan Quo GUI
------------

This is the graphical X Windows + Qt version [if you've got KDE up and running, it should work for you] of the writer's mystic advice program Kwan Quo, suitable for people who prefer to double-click on executable files rather than run them from the command line (although you could type './KwanQuo-Qt' and see what happens).  It is public domain; no copyrights or licenses apply.  The author disclaims all responsibilities for anything that happens as a result of running it, but includes the source code for your endless delight or amazement.

To use KwanQuo-Qt:

1) double-click on its icon (or not; see above)
2) type your difficulty into the upper window
3) click the Consult button
4) boggle at the recommendations in the lower window
5) rephrase as necessary.

The Erase button will erase the contents of the upper window.
The checkbox marked "Antony Flew references" is for people who own a copy of Mr Flew's DICTIONARY OF PHILOSOPHY, 2nd Edition, and would like to see what it might have to say.

Notes
-----
The relevance of any output of this program to the writer's problem is not guaranteed, except in the sense that everything is relevant if you look at it the right way.

Kwan Quo's statements are not random.  A given input will always produce one specific output (until Kwan Quo adds more Declarations).

nder some circumstances Kwan Quo's statements may be duplicates.  Then again, they may only seem to be.

If you're not a C++ programmer you can safely discard everything in this folder except the file "KwanQuo-Qt".

The executable was reduced in size with 'strip --strip-unneeded' (it was originally 83K).
