Just wait a until mid-year when the Free Version is released. Only allows
you to program GPL apps but will give an idea what Kylix is about....

Subject: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Kylix pricing
Just looked at the price of Kylix desktop in the states - US$999 !!
(NZ$2378 approx)
This is just to big a jump for someone who needs to determine if the product
is what is required.
Surely we can have a foundation version (or some such) at a low price to
evaluate the product.
I would have thought that if Borland are serious (which I am sure they are)
they would have realised that the success of the good old Turbo Pascal, and
subsequently Delphi, was due, to a large extent, to the entry price (I think
US$99)
Bugger - I was looking forward to dickering with Kylix :-{
