Some products just know know when to die, do they? ;-) I actually know of quite a few commercial applications still written with Kylix today. Beyond Compare 3 from Scooter Software would be an obvious one. The fact is (as Henry indicated), one can't just imagine a number. Statistics don't work that way. It's the same as those people that keep on saying that Linux only has 1% market share. How do they know? There are no OEM numbers for all Linux distros. I download my ISO images and share them to many many people. We don't "register" with some company or website to be counted. So that 1% figure is pure speculation! South Africa has many Freedom Toasters, where you bring your own CD's or DVD's and copy any free and open source software at no cost. Last I read (from a leaked report to Borland and Embarcadero - I can try and find that link again), Borland sold a couple million copies or Kylix (excluding the Open Edition which you could download for free). I'm pretty sure some of those copies are still in use today. I also host a copy of Kylix 3 Open Edition on some file share website. It was downloaded 70+ times last year, even though I put a notice to say they should try Free Pascal and Lazarus instead. -- 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
