Good question! Wither Borland? My impression (second hand - based on no direct experience with Kylix!) is that Borlands wonderful Delphi product ported to Linux has been a dissapointment. * * * Someone with real experience on Kylix - please jump in here! Calling Delphi "similar to Visual Basic" is hurtful because I believe that VB is the product of looting and pillaging the talent that came out of Borland. I'm guessing that Microsoft has successfully targeted this perceived competitor with destruction. If Kylix were of the quality of Delphi, it would be a killer Linux app. Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
