Just to complicate things a little more, most Windows users also use a 
4th part, QTRgui, which adds a graphical interface to Roy Harrington's QTR.

QTRgui is the work of Stephen Billard, and I'm very grateful for his 
program which makes QTR much easier to use.

QTRgui is freeware, and is packaged with the Windows version of QTR.
