Small addition: For me a strong reason for both FPC and Delphi compared to the others is that single exe deployment is still so doable. For a lot of small stuff that I only deliver once, I don't want to set up a complicated deployment system, or argue with external IT departments about the addition of runtime libraries. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
