[DUG] Porting Delphi code to Linux

[Paul]

Hi Edward,

I mostly use Delphi which is better than FreePascal, but it's Windows only.

I just started with FreePascal recently for Mac OSX and WinCE
As always, starting with a new environment is slow, a least for me :-)
There's good support though on the forum.
FreePascal/Lazarus is open source, but has a very active community since 
1992.
I found this very important myself.

Indeed, only Windows works with messages.
