The TurboCASH team has recently announced that the successfully
converted their database to Firebird and MySQL.
So, now it is easier to port TurboCASH to Lazarus.
I added a section on their wiki with steps to convert the software to
Lazarus. Feel free to contribute.

Yes, I never use VB6. But VB.NET is much more powerful, and programs can
be
created in it in half the time. I don't understand what you mean by "very
scary features."
VB is now obsolete and it´s code doesn´t work on VB.NET. What will you
do when Microsoft also drop VB.NET??

An important issue is that you don't need tricks to accomplish things,
i.e. in VB as soon as you start to call handleevent

By the way... currently I'm working on a dictionary application
(Indonesian-English and vice versa) using FPC/Lazarus, also a convertion
from Delphi. Can I put this project of mine on FPC site? On which
section?
Thank you, Daniël. As soon as I got an account on SourceForge for my project,
I'll contact FPC site webmaster. :)

TurboCASH FPC convertion project will be a good start to prove the power of
FPC/Lazarus. Though it requires highly skilled developers -since it's a big and
complex application-, some FPC experts has to take this chance. I believe lots
of FPC fans will contribute to this project. :)

I think it's mainly prejudice and ignorance. And many Pascal
advocates are guilty of exactly the same thing when it comes to other
languages..
The only reason those people think Pascal is bad is because it's been around
for so long; they don't realize that it's maturing.
On the other hand, they might hate it because they're afraid it's going to
take over their language.

I wonder... why most developers still think negatively about (object) Pascal?
Don't they ever heard about Delphi (in propietary world) or the great FPC (in
