Steve,

Borland HAS an open-source enabled version for linux of that
"pascal"-compiler named Kylix.

There are also OpenSource versions for windows, but I not quite sure
here.
(if open-source == test-version, then it should work)

My 2ct

Thanks for the info, but it doesn't seem to be quite right. I just went to the Borland site. I downloaded Kylix 3 and they sent me a free activation key to use it for building GPL applications. I haven't tied it yet, but this much looks OK. Delphi is now version 7 (Bloodshed says it requires version 6) and is not free. A personal version, for building non-commerical applications (whatever that means) is $99 - no so expensive, but not free.

I doubt Bloodshed will build properly with Kylix. If it were that simple I'm sure there would be a proper Bloodshed for Linux available. All that seems to exist for Linux is an ancient test version.

Regards,
Steve
