That's cross-platform based and the Object Pascal dialects in Delphi and Lazarus are quite compatible.

Thus you do have a 'way forward' and thank you for supporting Linux as well as UNIX. >I already found a small bug so look forward for it. Please also update the Applications Database. This will help those who develop using Delphi to avoid problem areas. >Thank the whole Wine team for such a great project. You are welcome. Although I don't speak for the entire project, it has been a pleasurable discussion, a bit heated at times, but overall we came to a conclusion that works for the both of us and will help the project as well as you move forward.
