Thanks, I wanted to ask about it but you prevented my question.

I meant that I want to implement "dangerous" parts in C (driver core) and  
other things in pascal. But other developers are right that it is bad idea  
to write on C for pascal project.

I will try to work in this way. It is interesting.

Reinventing the wheel is to write all  SDL imports, for graph I need only  
few.

So you think that it is not bad to use JEDI  SDL instead writing some  
initialization code on C and make pascal headers for it? I haven't used  
JEDI  SDL before but it is beta. I need your advise.
