I am aware of the script collection to convert Qt3 software to TQt3:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/scripts/
Can the scripts be used to mostly massage Qt5 to TQt3? What would be
missing?
Thanks.

A lot of significant changes were made between QT3 and QT4.
They tried to keep changes to the minimum between 4 and 5, but
that doesn't help in this case. If you're bored, have a look at
https://web.archive.org/web/20090817081657/http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.5/qt4-…
The document tree rooted there indicates most of the things that
were added or removed.
Any transformation script intended for QT3 code seems unlikely
to produce usable results from nontrivial QT4 or QT5 code.

Shucks. The KDE5 KRDC interface is improved by magnitudes over the
KDE3/TDE version. The Remmina client is an improvement too and that's
says something for me because generally I detest most things GTK.
Not slamming TDE devs. Only so many people and so much time. I had hoped
maybe port the KDE version into something the TDE devs could use as a
foundation.
As you note, likely there are sufficient changes in Qt4/5 features of
which nothing equivalent exists in TQt3.
Perhaps I had better stick to solving crossword puzzles.
