Especially for tiny teams, the decision of spending 6k€ or hiring a new developer to maintain the toolchain is, sadly, a no-brainer. Unless you already have a strong commitment to open source tools, of course, but then it's more policy and publicity. -- Regards, Martok _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
