Easy installation and handling is always very important. Otherwise it can become boring very fast, even if one is a technical specialist. Huge downloads are easy to handle these days. When trying to update the new lazarus and fpc binaries with deb packages I got in trouble with dependancies. Then I abort it. It is like Juha said: They move on if they can't easily install. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
