I just read Dephi 7 Pro (I don't have earlier versions installed anymore) license.txt and deploy.txt and it says I can freely distribute my compiled apps, along with some Borland binary files (runtime packages, BDE, Active X Controls) The only restrictions are for some of the runtime packages (Mainly Datasnap and Websnap ) and the BDE SQL links for wich Enterprise is required.

Is that the Standard Edition? I have the Delphi 3 Standard Edition which allows me to distribute apps. I believe that subsequent Upgrades split into 'Standard Edition' and 'Enterprise Edition'.

After running my report on my older version of Linux I have indeed seen
that it does print landscape as expected. So this doesn't appear to be a
Lazarus problem. I know its not CUPS or the print filters because my
other programs don't have any trouble printing Landscape.
So any insight as to what other libraries Lazarus (on Linux) is using
for printing would be a big help to try and determine where the failing
component is. Maybe its a GTK thing? I use the TPrintDialog component to
setup the initial print environment and then in code I force it to

Re: [lazarus] Introduction
I don't want to put down Lazarus because I think it has tremendous potential and like the others here I love the cross-platform capability. On the other hand I have yet to be able to accomplish any serious project with it. I've run into a series of issues with just about every component I've tried to use . So I usually hang up my hat and break out Kylix again. A definite plus is that the core libraries that I've written will compile with either Borland or FPC. I use FPC almost completely for command line stuff. I just need to be able to crank out some GUI stuff without having to loose time to debugging the libraries. Now that I've upgraded (not sure it was an improvement) my workstation to Debian 4.0 I can no longer run Kylix. :-) This means that I too will soon be joining the ranks of Lazarus contributors in any way that I can. -Jon Lee Jenkins wrote: hy-soft wrote: Hi, I am monitoring lazarus for about five years now and find the whole project is very impressive. You guys did a great job - but unfortunately the IDE is NOT in some state that could be used for a productive work (IMHO). I've been using Lazarus on Windows seriously for about a year now and I've become pretty damn productive with it. I don't use it on Linux a lot (yet), but the occasions that I have used it on linux, my experience is pretty much about the same on windows, less the nooberific state of my linux knowledge of course. Are you talking in the context of the IDE compared to Visual Studio, Delphi 2007? I started Delphi with version 6 so Lazarus to me is very comparable. I have recently purchased Delphi 2007 and I must say, it really is a very nice IDE. $400.00 U.S was the upgrade price I think, but I have yet to use it for a serious project since I've been using Lazarus. I've been using Lazarus because I want my current projects to be cross-platform. That is the value for me and my customers. As nice as Delphi2007 IDE *really* is, it doesn't compile cross-platform or even to 64 bit, but Lazarus does. And what's more, Lazarus is on par with Delphi6 (IMO) IDE which makes it the most workable, viable and robust solution for using ObjectPascal to build apps portable between platforms. For me, the cross platform nature (and close compatibility to delphi) of Lazaurs provides enough built in value (not to mention the price :)) to adapt myself to using it with the features it offers now. Like me, you're probably impressed with the increased level of traffic and involvement there is in the freepascal and lazarus projects over the last couple of years.
