(InnoSetup is something like Delphi 3-based since later versions apparently bloat the file size or introduce dependencies). I realize a number of popular shareware apps. use Delphi/Lazarus (e.g. Spybot Search&Destroy), but that doesn't make it any less dead as a language. By "dead", I'm referring to the number of people learning and actively using it and how readily support is available for it. PHP, C, and C++ all have comparatively more active communities surrounding them. The ONLY reason I even know Pascal is because of InnoSetup's embedded Pascal interpreter for implementing custom code. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
