Hi Tom Mine is a case of implementing lazarus in an International School. But it was not for Education, but for Administration.
I made front ends for MySQL backend using SQLDB using lazarus under Linux. The software was implemented on hard disk less thin client machines with linux LTSP server (ltsp.org). The software was given to the security office at the gates and to the dormitories. The student Roll No is the key field. When a Roll No is entered, a pdf image is loaded showing the photos of parents and gaurdians. Also, inside the dorms, the student timings of exit and enter is recorded. One software i made for our Travel & Tours office for automating travel arrangements of students. This was on Lazarus in Windows. regards Nataraj On Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:46:04 +0100 Tom Verhoeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We have been using FreePascal for many years in our programming > education (see signature for location).
