I have been following Lazarus closely, we need to have more of us familiar with
it.

From the look of it, it will become active long before kylix is even close to
beta.

(I am a member of the list serve and have been monitoring the components, almost
a new object finalized every day)

If we remember the days before delphi, dos manuals mostly had C or basic
references.

But, our biggest need is Delphi code being able to port over properly to other
platforms
and FPK supports OS2 as well as other OS's.

It is still beta, but well, so are 99% of linux projects (rarely do they ever
hit the magic
1.0 relase but stay at a .99999999991ba sorta thing)

best regards
Dalton
