<I'm sorry if this isn't really in line with the current thread, because I've only been reading bits and pieces. If you just want Delphi, have you checked < Borland's site lately? They used to give away the personal version of Delphi, as long as you didn't write anything commercial with it. Of course, I don't think < it was the latest version, but for free it works. You can also get the Borland command line tools for free, and there are a number of different IDEs on the net that support various compilers.
Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software <http://www.polsoftware.com/> http://www.polsoftware.com/ hi eric- thank you for the ideas. i will have fun picking out software used to design more software. i already am investigating sqlite for delphi on sourceforge to see if it works with delphi personal 7 edition. i have two questions posted to a sourceforge forum inquiring about it. it is easy to just go plop down 1000 on the cadillac version of some software and know it will work but i like sorting through the bins and coming up with a decent tool and save money. to be honest the expensive software has way more features then i need and i'd never end up using all those features anyways. btw i think that your scorch product is a really neat idea. i will check back in this forum after i select new design software and get busy writing. thanks- goodbye
