Hello, I work with a project (Simba: http://wizzup.org/simba/) that was written in FreePascal using Lazarus. One of the main issues with Simba was the necessity of creating wrappers for most of what needed to be accomplished. On a more personal note, I find Lazarus very useful for quick GUI prototypes, but the lack of supporting infrastructure makes it hard to use sometimes. I appreciate the development that does take place and wish more could. I have tried to find ways to help off and on, but all the problems that are left are very involved. A more impressive contribution to the list was planned but I forgot what I was going to write. However, if you wanted to know if what you do is useful, then yes, I think it is. Cheers, R0b0t1. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
