Please refer to

Sorry.. I was at the Tasmanian State Library Reference computer.. and it was a

Okay... but surely, Don't i need to keep switching back into Lazarus (Delphi
RAD clone) to recompile it??? It's been quite a while since I did this.

YES... I works exactly like Delphi 7 Enterpise == I think. I haven't yet
installed it -- probably later today.

I am getting Acronis True Image software cos my old copy is (c) 2005 and too
old to work with my current software and backups which the computer shop made.

I guess my true question is:
What is the closest thing to it for Linux. I could compile from source if that
helps.

Yes, actually I *DO* currently subscribe to a couple of the Lazarus mailing
groups and I, after posting the message to this group then forwarded the
message to Lazarus and a few Game-development lists and yahoo groups I am in.
I find that managing many email list / yahoo group subscriptions can be
challenging with many messages to read. This is compounded by the fact that my
pc has been at the shop for a fortnight. And laptop is also there.
