I disagree, it may not be a problem from the compiler development point-of-view, but a simulator is much worse then an emulator which gives you a much closer reproduction of the working of the real device. iPhone runs an arm processor, then you may have a perfectly working x86 application then bang, alignment failure in the arm processor. While with the PocketPC emulator this problems are captured right in the emulation step. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
