That would be my view as well. Unfortunately we are then in the minority. Version numbers on Windows etc. and been in popularity for some time. No v1 release = rubbish software. Unfortunately that's what they consider fact. FPC & Lazarus choose there market by trying to be Delphi compatible - so indirectly they are targeting Windows developers. Be that Windows developers that want to move to new platforms or Windows developers that want to move away for Delphi. Either way, it's Windows developers and the majority of them look at version numbers. Sad, but true. I would simply like Lazarus to play the PR game a bit - we have much to benefit from that, and much to offer too. So why keep Lazarus a secret or for the select few. Maximize your audience (quoted from PR people I know). -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
