I've read your articles on FirebirdSQL you wrote for Linux&C, very clear and well written. > I am looking for a cool application (already written or > to be written) to show to our readers (in the next articles) the power > and the elegance of Free Pascal for serious development. I agree with Florian, FPC itself! imho is sufficient to look at the fpc documentation to find enough examples of elegance and power. Anyway, a bunch of good Delphi libraries have been successfully ported to fpc (Synapse, ICS, Decal, Abbrevia,...), almost anything you can do with Delphi could be done in fpc as well. I've converted the EOS code (http://sourceforge.net/projects/camelos) to fpc in a couple of days with only minor changes from Delphi and translated the Junit core testing framework from Java in a day or too: http://camelos.sourceforge.net/fpcUnit.html , so, no doubt for me that FPC is mature for serious programming.
If you need help for your article or you need a review, just ask (you can get in contact with me in private). Ciao, Dean Zobec _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
