Good choice! :-) > While I'm doing that, I thought about using character mode terminals > (DOS or Linux shell) for quick data entry. As Michael said, it could definitely work. But is there any specific reason why you would like to choose a terminal app over a GUI (desktop) app? Or even a Web app? Easy deployment with little dependencies, end-users are already used to terminal apps etc? If you do use tiOPF, you could always use tiOPF's MGM (Model-GUI-Mediator) which makes GUI binding very easy with very little code. MGM already supports fpGUI, LCL and VCL. I would obviously recommend fpGUI for the job, which gives you lots of possibilities to customize the look of your app, and it has very low library dependencies... but them I might be a bit bias towards fpGUI. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
