Sorry, I didn't mean this personal to you. I was just a bit triggered onthe fact that 
people offer competing products on FPC status requests,because I've seen it more than 
once that people just ask for the Status ofX, regarding FPC, and when it's not there 
right now, they just move on tosomething else. And we have to "compete" with a 
whole range of commercialproducts, where this attitude doesn't help.

I agree for what it's worth, and I also find it very frustrating when- in a mailing list specifically for FPC or Lazarus- somebody asks a question about the standard development environment or a standard component and gets the answer that the best way to do it is to use somebody else's pet project.

Especially with a project as young and specialized as FPC's AVR backend.>> "Young and

You are right, of course.

I'm only using Arduinos at the moment (potentially including e.g. Teensy), and until I'm far more knowledgeable about remote debugging etc. am inclined to keep it that way :-)
