Which is why again all that needs to be done is simply the programmer needs to ignore the component palette, ignore Form1, and write everything from scratch in these cases if he wants to. Just because Emacs has a crumby and slow textbased tetris games in it, doesn't mean you have to use them either. It's just their for your convenience (yes, I'd hate to see games inside Lazarus). _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
