26)     Vidalia is a cross-platform graphical controller for the
27)     <a href="<page index>">Tor</a> software, built using the <a
28)     href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> framework. Vidalia runs on most
29)     platforms supported by Qt 4.3 or later, including Microsoft Windows,
30)     Apple OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window

31)     system. It was originally written by Matt Edman, and is currently
32)     maintained by Tomás Touceda.

35)     Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are

36)     consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where
37)     these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from
38)     Tor about its progress and current state, and let you configure your
39)     Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.  Included in
40)     Vidalia is an extensive help system which helps you understand all of
41)     the options available to you.  All of these features are translated

42)     into a large number of languages.
