Each to their own ;-) Believe me, I used to train Delphi for Borland. (My old company was the PSO for Borland when I joined them for approx 1 year, then Borland decided to do it themselves.) I also consulted for Borland at a couple of sites too. I'm not saying this makes any difference, just that I have quite a bit of experience of teaching Object Pascal to a wide range of abilities. > Then you're a lucky man.

I will continue to ;-) It's not always easy to find the time and unfortunately my examples are often Delphi specific because I prototype in Delphi. Maybe writing that FPC plugin for the Delphi IDE would be a good place to start ;-) > It is also alien to the way I personally work.

Opinions on this may wildly differ ;-) You have my respect ;-) Don't read me complaining about file structures to be any kind of insult to your abilities. All FPC developers seem capable if not expert programmers ;-) Matt _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
