'has released' ? When ? Do you have an URL for the announce ?
Anyway, Borland announced that Kylix will miss the 'windows' unit so
things like treeview, listview, and the like, as any direct call to win32 api also,
should
break in a Kylix app. I am not sure how much trust I should put in Borland's
statements, but it was said this way.
The Vcl (Borland library under Windows is probably not portable with Winelib
even if there was a Pascal able to deal with Borland's code under Unix
(there are parts in assembly dealing with exceptions, and some part
is even binary only - the debugger hooks). The emulator (Wine) is IMO
the best option.
