I agree, it would be great if ICS could be used from Lazarus.
Lazarus seems to go well, new versions are coming, community gets bigger
- and also Freepascal is great (referring to previous subject it
supports 64bit systems too)

Delphi 4 and Delphi 7 on the ICS website, for those of us still doing
productive work on the "early" Delphis which can... shock horror!...
still be installed on systems simply by entering a registration key,
rather than via an online registration process which leaves the
package owner vulnerable to the marketing choices of the software
producer.
As Kylix seems "dead", I hope Lazarus is thriving, and that a version
of ICS which works with that is/ will remain available... but will
understand that if Lazarus is NOT doing well, the energy to support
it cannot be justified.

I examined the ICS units some time ago and found only several
places that *may* require changing.
Most people are aware that Embarcadero does not allow it's beta testers
to identify themselves except under limited circumstances, nor talk about
beta products.
But since ICS and many other components are always ready for new Delphi
releases, some people may assume that one or more of us have access to
new Delphi code before it's release, to update and test components as
necessary.
Hypothetically, limited testing of ICS under 64-bit may have been done
successfully already. If the annual Delphi release schedule of August or
September is followed again this year, a lot may still change.
There have been over 200 messages about 64-bit in the non-technical
newsgroup over the last two days, with various suggestions that may get
taken up and cause more changes.
Embarcadero is accepting applications for beta access on it's 64-bit web
page, and such people could similarly get access to test ICS.
