IMHO it would be better to start over legacy free for .NET and really target the .NET/JVM/LLVM platform 100%. I think that single source combinations are already all gone by the time we would enter production with a .NET port. And even if, a single source system would put a break too much on the mutual development. See e.g. Borland, the native port is at a virtual standstill, the only thing they do is incorporate other peoples source (FastCode) and backport .NET specific language features that are meaninless in native mode. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
