Okay, agreed. But what is there that can be done? I mean, yes -- there
are many things that can be done by Pascal guru's, but is there anything
to be done by a typical Pascal programmer? (without the knowledge of
similar C libraries) I'm a FreePascal programmer that would really like
to contribute to the project (for all it has given me) -- but with the
lack of compiler/linux related skills I don't see much I could do.
- create good container classes (map, hash, trees etc.)
That could be done... but it needs some common FPC standard -- via
interfaces? Like ITreeElement, I HashElement? Anyway, I'm not good at "one
cycle less" stuff, so such units would still need a lot of optimizing by
someone else... I think I'd pass up on this one.
- write a bcd classes
BCD?
Binary Coded Decimal. We urgently need a bcdfmt unit as in delphi.
- extend e.g. the convutils stuff
Havn't seen that one yet.
Lots of work there.
Michael.
