Sorry to reply so late but here you have hit the core of the question. Many times I've tried to do something that failed in a miserable way (i.e. miserable/hobbist/old programmer). BTW, contribute to an open source project can be done as programmer, tester, artist, disigner, marketter etc. So if someone has a good idea to improve the project but is not able to implement it, I think there is nothing wrong with proposing it here without this being interpreted as a request that the core developers must do. If anyone knows how to do it, and overall want to do it, well, otherwise it goes on and nothing changes. Anyway I want to say thanks to all of you, old and new developers Salvatore > Giuliano > > > > -- > _______________________________________________ > Lazarus mailing list > Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org > http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus >
