I once for some reason tried to compile TurboVision with Lazarus. In 
TurboVision TObject is an object, in Lazarus TObject is a class.

As this only was a test, after some lame efforts to solve the problem, I 
gave up.

So it does make a difference :)

And the funny thing is just the naming Borland chose when moving from TP 
to Delphi. There is a concept called "Object" that is similar but not 
identical to a concept called "class" and now they do a type "TObject = 
class".
