I don't know if the thread has been moved to the fb-tools list. I have
subscribed to it now. In the meantime just a quick comment.
Turbo Pascal 7 used to have a very nice object library that you could
use to write a asci-gui.(oxymoron!)
If we could get a similar library or get that one in a opensource
version we could use freepascal or gnu-pascal to write a gui.
Gnu-pascal however will compile on more platforms but does not have all
the delphi syntax. It even have a nice crt unit to create x11 type
gui's.
My motivations are that by using pascal you provide access to more
developers in the fb-community. And by using an asci interface you have
a gui available that is consistent over all platforms as text is still
the lowest commen denominator.
