As much as I love Borland, the Kylix GUI is a pretty miserable failure at their first attempt at X software. It appears to be a straight port of the Windows GUI run through wine. The only Linux ,machine I ever tried to run it on, it got past the 'font matrix' mess then crashed trying to draw an arc too big for my video driver, or something along those lines. I am encouraged to hear that the command line tools work under FBSD, though. I can at least start developing OP code to get used to the CLX, even if I have to do the forms by hand. Have you tested applications compiled against the CLX in FreeBSD? Do they work any better than the IDE itself? --K To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
