I will consider it

once I get my Linux box up and running. I'll have to crack open those old Turbo Pascal manuals of mine and do a refresher course in Pascal. :)

I tried that link, and I was told it didn't exist. Either my ISP puked on me, or Borland is having a bad day?

So what I will do, is once I find the time I will write it in VB first (gag) and then port the code to C++, or Pascal/Kylix later. I am usually good at porting code from one language to another, I used to do that a lot in college when I took different language courses but the instructors wanted to solve the same problems. I mean why reinvent a good function in another language from scratch when the analysis and design had already been done in another language?

So far, I haven't started it, but I expect to get into the analysis and design phase before I start coding. Once I finish that, I can start into any language I choose.

Refresh my memory, my medicine has changed a lot recently, what was that offer for free consulting for, to learn Delphi/Kylix?

Borland sent me the serial key in email, anything I create with the Open Edition has to be GPL from my understanding. I'm also considering [link\|http://www.freepascal.org\|Free Pascal] I think someone mentioned a Delphi like IDE named Lazarus for it. Free Pascal can be ported to OS/2, BeOS, and other platforms. At this point, a VB version would be easiest. Then convert it later to other languages. "I can see if I want anything done right around here, I'll have to do it myself!" Moe Howard
