[lug] RHEL WS vs ES

[George Sexton]

Delphi is an awesome programming tool. I have used it for years. It
makes exceptionally small executables, and has complete low-level
language features. If you have to write a Windows  GUI, it THE tool to
use. They also have the linux version called Kylix. It brings a real
pro-quality IDE to Linux. The Delphi community is active, with a lot of
really good sites on development. You can find code samples to do just
about everything under the sun. After dealing with the unix mentality
(we don't want to show an example in the man page, because that would be
a waste of critical bytes, and you ought to know how to use the program
before calling up the man page anyhow), it's a nice change.

Well, AFAIK it was developed on Win95, usage of which generates a
Pavlovian response of "protection [fault]" to the word "general."

What really makes /me/ wonder is that it is written (IIRC) in Pascal!

PS: Do I get a bonus point for working "AFAIK" and "IIRC" into the same
post?

PPS: I sort of RC . . . it is written in Delphi, which seems to be a
Borland fork of Pascal.
