Not me, IMHO the fpc (+lazarus) port is more important atm. It generates much simpler apps, but it is native on every 4.x and 5.x with gtk12, and connects to the free dbs without much fuzz :-) Moreover it is not dead. Kylix is dead. Probably both because Borland got in bed with Microsoft because of .NET, and because it was no commercial success. Kylix is a bastard child compared to Delphi, but not _that_ bad, and being the only similar tool in the market should have made up for that. Productivity is apparantly not appreciated under Linux yet, or the demand for small/medium custom client-server apps on linux is still too low. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
