Please calm down. There is no reason to scream. We already devote almost all our free time to FPC. So please don't ask for unreasonable things. Here is a summary of the platforms: - PowerPC is working - ARM is in development - SPARC is in development - x86_64 development will start ASAP the developpers have hardware - ia64, if you pay for the hardware... (using an external compilefarm is not an option) - .NET, none of the current core developpers has plans to support it. You are welcome to implement it Peter _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
