Re: New Delphi roadmap is coming: NO UNICODE PLEASE!

"none" <""none\"@(none)"> wrote in message

My list:
Help system
Stable IDE
Multi-processor support
Win 64
Unicode.

NET support in Delphi is unimportant since we use Visual Studio for that.

Win64 is unimportant in Delphi since we can use VS for that.
Unicode is unimportant in Delphi since we can use VS for that.
etc.

Get the picture?

And Kylix ? You must be joking. It has been deader than the dodo for years

A lot of us would still like to see it alive again. The alternative in the
long run is a port of existing Kylix applications to freepascal or missed
business. Much more important than some minor help system issues.
