Re: [fpc-pascal] Greetings
Doug, Hi Thanks for the welcome. As a veteran Turbo Pascal user, (since ver 3.0 in 1986), I was introduced to Object Pascal in 1989 when I upgraded to TP ver 5.5, although it was quite different to Object Pascal we use today. BTW, I still sort of know my way around Turbo Vision. I've been using Object Pascal, (as we know it), since Delphi 1.0, which I purchased in 1995. I also own a copy of Turbo Pascal For Windows 1.0 which I acquired in 1991, but I did not make much use of it. I have used most of the Delphi releases since, including 2009, (even used Kylix). I do prefer the older IDE's though (Delphi 7), although the later Delphi compilers support some cool OOP extension that I could do with in FPC. Perhaps in time they will be included. I first came accross Free Pascal prior to ver 1.0 (ver 0.96? around 1999 - 2000). IMO, the Free Pascal compiler really rocks. The FPC team are very good at what they do - Good work and thanks guys! Over the last few years, since mid 2005 to be precise, I have been developing an Object Pascal Class Framework Library. Where possible, the library has support for both MS Windows and Linux. The library comprises hundreds of classes divided in 130 plus logical units, each dedicated to providing support for a specific section or area, (Timers, schedulers, IPC, fault tolorance, database, xml etc, etc) Although the library is suitable for GUI applications, the idea is to use the library for console based Linux applications on the x86 platform. My intention is to produce sophisticated multithreaded and multiprocess embedded applications for use within the process control and security industries. In order to take my work to the next level, I'm looking to partner with person(s) or company(s) and perhaps someone has some ideas and advise in this regard. If anybody is interested in more detailed information regarding the class library, they are welcome to email me at libi...@silvermono.co.za Regards to all, Nino Luciani //--- On Tuesday 28 April 2009 00:04:10 Doug Chamberlin wrote: Nino Luciani wrote: Hi guys, A quick introduction.

Well, contributions are always welcome, of course! There is a page in our Wiki regarding possible contributions (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Open_tasks). The page is probably not 100% up to date at the moment so after you pick an area which would be interesting for you (there are various areas with differing level of complexity), ask about the particular topic in fpc-devel list to make sure that it is still valid and there aren't other people working on it yet.
