Do you want to (a) create RTF files programmatically and/or display RTF files from your program or do you want to (b) allow your users to have a simple rich-text editor in your program. You can do (a) now in a cross-platform way with the FPC rtfpars unit and an external word processor.

The WINE guys I know under Delphi it's a wrapper for that .dll, but why couldn't Borland just write one from scratch for Kylix? The same goes for Lazarus. Strangely enough, developers come up with all different kinds of components, but nobody every bothers to write a RichEdit component from scratch. That's why I'm asking if it's such an impossible thing that nobody can do, except the hordes of Microsoft employees. -- Graeme Geldenhuys There's no place like S34° 03.168' E018° 49.342' _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
