Hi Denis,

I put version 0.1 of KDar at
http://members.shaw.ca/jkerrb/computer.html

It's only a small description at this point, since this is a temporary 
home. I've requested a permanent home page from the KDE people.

To compile, you might have to run "make" twice, as I haven't worked out the 
proper build order yet.

I wasn't able to get exception handling working for it yet. The program 
will abort if the user answers "no" to any of the user_interaction_pause() 
questions. The next API with c-type error handling will get around this, 
and people won't have to recompile QT and KDE without -fno-exceptions to 
use KDar. If you find KDar useful, great. If not (or you use another 
Desktop environment, etc.) then just take it as a proof-of-concept of GUI 
interaction with libdar. 

In particular, some rethinking of user_interaction_pause() might be 
worthwhile, either from libdar's end or KDar's end, so that "Yes" and "No" 
responses to the interaction are appropriate.

I'd like to improve this frontend, so as usual feedback is appreciated.
[...]

Cheers,
JB
