Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see inthenextversion of Delphi

I admit, this would be more than just cool. To continue using my D6 source code but have all of the new features in the IDE? Maybe now I'm catching onto what Jake is after...

I think compiling for a particular version would require that I have that full version installed. IOW, BDS shouldn''t come with the RTL/VCL of every previous version. But since I have D6 and D7 installed, it would be cool to develop/build those projects in BDS 2006.

With product personalities, I'd think this would be easier than it would have been in D7 and before. (I said easier, not easy...)

I also think that the actual compiler/linker for the version choosen would have to be used. As opposed to the compiler switching between different RTL/VCL.
