And needless to say that the ICT department has forbidden me to use this program, because "it is not a commercial progra, and therefore there is no offical support for it, and unsupported programs cannot be installed on our system".
I think it would be useless to point out to your ICT department what happened to people using a supported commercial program lik Kylix (just to make an example), when Borland for its own stupid reasons decided to drop it!
A better approach could be to set up (yourself, or your sister if you have one, or an aged grandmother, or a friendly neighbour) a small company selling FPC, Lazarus or any other GPL software you know you can handle (it's perfectly legal to sell it, if you follow the licence rules) and providing support.
This would make both you and your ICT department happy, and maybe, instead of headaches you could even raise some extra money. ;-)
Give it a thought. Giuliano -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
