"The japs would have kept you on retainer knowing a valuable asset/investment when they see one.. "
They would have... Unfortunately, the nephew of the president/owner and the son of the big Sell Manager over the North America have had just graduated the university as computer gurus. Should I say more? C# has the same power as Delphi/Pascal, however, Delphi is also an IDE, while C# is not! OK - Visual Studio .Net is an IDE, but in spite of all advertisements, I'm missing hardly the power of Delphi's IDE; and its help (on version 5: that help was always giving me the right explanation and the right example, ready to be cut-n-paste in my programs to finish them in no time. I can seldom rely on the help of .Net - but the web is there...) Aside from C# there is also VB.Net (and some other unimportant languages as C++ or J#) with the same power, same functions and same classes. Working in C# (or whatever .Net language) moves you at fast speed toward the web (aspx pages or web services) and there you'll meat lot of alternative technologies, starting with JavaScript and ending with documentations and example on Java, PHP etc. In conclusion is a very nice, challenging mess.

Thanks for the candid opinion on .Net. I've been wondering what it's like. I was motivated to look at C# thinking that it was just like Delphi (but maybe not?) but has a future.. As far as working, I'm concentrating on being a shareware author as it is the most satisfying (only ignorant general public is my boss ;-). You sound like a good programmer who efficiently programmed yourself out of a job.. just proves once again that "nice guys finish last" in our pathetic, shortsighted culture. The japs would have kept you on retainer knowing a valuable asset/investment when they see one.. Thank you for admitting that there is a secret history of Rome.. as I said, the Pope owns the land that Washington D.C. sits on.. it is a "tangled web we weave".. DJS ------------------------ Yahoo!
