Thanks for your efforts. However, notwithstanding the verbosity of your
reply, I don't see how Borland creating a 64-bit compiler guarantees
the future compatibility of Delphi on multiple platforms more than
Borland creating a .NET compiler.

LOL. Hopefully if you reread what you wrote you'll find it as amusing
as I did.

Your points have already been addressed many times. You choose to not
accept any arguments presented that do not fall within your specific
requirements. I don't think there's anything further I can add that
hasn't been stated multiple times in the past.

What's your goal? If it's because you want to complain about your
misconception that I attacked you, that would be David Intersimone. The
usual email patterns apply.
