I was a software developer for over 25 years but I haven't written a single line of code in 8 years or so now. So, I am not at all familiar with Delphi. But if I was to come back to s/w development, what you say would be enough a reason to not even consider Delphi as a possible tool. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
