You don't seem to understand the concept of RAD web development ;-) If it takes me 2 minutes to upload a massive 2mb cgi program through FTP, since I pay half price for my internet connection for half speed DSL/Cable...... That's not rad. Sometimes I develop a cgi program and upload it every few minutes, so waiting 1-2 minutes for a cgi to upload with total commander is just pathetic. Uploading a 50kb or 30kb cgi is where it is at. I live in a first world country but in third world countries with dial up or whatever slow dsl they use, I can imagine a 2MB golang cgi (or lazarus zeos/classes/other cgi) taking more than 2 minutes. That's not RAD Just try compling some hello world or simple programs in lazarus and imagine they take 2 minutes to compile. That's what C++ compilers do. If you are a c++ fan I guess 2MB/2minute upload cgi programs are satisfactory... Some of us do RAD cgi programming where everything is instant. Good for you living in a country where dsl/cable is very fast and you don't care about FTP upload times. I think they call that being spoiled, or being white or something. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
