I guess in my 5 years of Turbo Pascal and 15 years of Object Pascal/Delphi, I haven't stepped in deep water yet. Or I was very lucky, or I simply found alternative programming solutions for all my "deep water" problems. :-) Ultimately though, I still say: "Use the right tool for the job." Object Pascal has just been flexible enough, that it could be my tool of choice for the last 15+ years. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
