I think it is better to start implementing it in a fork. A fork can move much faster and make a reconnaissance of all problems and find solutions for them, and see what you can do to improve compatibility. One the fork has a functioning Lazarus again, you will have a much better bargaining position than now while it is all paper, and some people are strongly in favor, and the others say it won't work. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
