Though you do have a little point here... In case you ever find a problem with free pascal people in this mailing list might be able to help you faster than the delphi developers ;) Also I believe the free pascal source code is fully available so you might look at specific parts ;) > > 2) There is a Delphi personal edition.

I believe there is a free delphi version somewhere ;) Open source usually have licenses as well which tell you what you can and can't do. > > 3) Everytime I have to boot on Windows I feel like a little part of me > dies. Everytime time Windows hags that little part goes to Hell and > says "hi" to Bill Gates. Lol. I think Delphi and Windows are well tested and a excellent choice for any type of application =D _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
