Incorrect, and I don't see what an OSS geek is supposed to be. I/We don't have a consumer relation with what you call consumers. Those distro's that pocketed the cash have. That is not that I'm against decent release building, but there is a tradeoff here, and one that is aggrevated due to use of several installer and hierarchy conventions. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
