I am familiar with pascal and I became aware of a project (a mud
client called Portal) that I use a fair bit that has been open
sourced.  It was written using Borland Delphi 4.  It has some
significant database components and currently uses whatever database
borland uses by default (I think).  I am not familiar with Delphi or
Lazarus but I would like to take the code and make it more cross
platform friendly since many of our users are Mac or Linux clients.

Is this sort of project reasonable?  Is Lazarus a good place to start
with this given that I am a noob?  I looked at the database sections
and I am somewhat concerned that porting this part is going to be a
huge mess...

If anyone is a fan of MUDs or just has some free time to help, I could
really use some help.  The code I am working with is available here.
I don't seriously expect anyone to look at it, but if you wanted to I
would be insanely grateful :)
