Hi Danijel,
Congratulations for the good work you are doing ! and the communication of your
progress on the newsgroup.

Great. As far as the cross-platform library for basic TCP/IP is concerned, I
think you should investigate Synapse. Would love to read that you would achieve
full compatibility between Delphi and FreePascal/Larazus using your tool. I
followed your progress on that in the newsgroup and find that great.
I believe you should work on that before the port to .NET. That would allow
Delphi developers to target Linux easily while still developing for Windows.
Many corporations are looking for an alternative to Microsoft on the server
side now, and next the client side. Developers, I believe, want, for now, to
target Windows first, and do want to easily build a Linux version effortlessly
and let their client choose between the two offering. I believe you are close
to that with your tool.

This is really great to read that. I hope you will be successful. I would like
to see that on your road map.

Really great. I hope you can invest some time in that. It really sounds great.
Having both Freepacal/Lazarus support and great Java integration is really the
way forward to convince companies to move to something more productive and
efficient than what is offered today on the market. Both of what you are
proposing is needed and very interesting.
Please, continue you great work and keep us informed !
Oliver
BTW, I saw the great work you are doing on your new web site.
