Add to that list: - CLX was buggy as hell because they didn't even write the Kylix IDE using CLX. - Developers kept comparing VCL to CLX because Borland marketed it like that. They should have done what EMB is doing with FireMonkey. Clearly state it is a different framework that will have the RTL and other non-gui code in common. - They priced Kylix way to high in the beginning. - CLX was never updated to Qt 3 when it came out. CLX was based on Qt 2.2 or something like that. I'm pretty sure Kylix and CLX would have worked if Borland just paid a bit more attention to quality and better marketing. Oh well, that's all done and dusted. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
