Is this correct? It implies that every feature/property uses 100% of the total process. And if it is true it is absolutely necessary to stop adding features soon because 1.1^50 = 117.4. ;-) Martin _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
