Actually, I certainly think (and hope) that DoDi's goal is _not_ a "C frontend", but to find _any_ possible venue to upgrade the code structure of FPC code. I admire his persistence and productivity and my suggestion for a fork was not a trolling attempt (although it did start a flame, for which I am sorry). To get going, a fork needs some momentum and dedication and maybe he is the person able to pull it off. -- Alexander S.
