Are you sure it's not your intention? :P My experience is about freepascal and its primitives mysql and more stuff units. You must write a lot of source code lines to do nothing and you must depend that somebody implements mysql or gtk "units" to use it with all of its new features. I think pascal is a good learning language, but C/C++, Java or C# has a very powerfull IDEs and all the APIs are supported. There are not pascal job vacancies. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
