Sure, but Borland is home for Synapse.

I create Synapse primary for my programs. I am professional
programmer and I create lot of commercial programs by my Synapse.
This is reason why Borland is very important for me. Programming is
not only compiler, but IDE too! I not see comparable IDE for FPC with
Borlands IDE. ;-(

FPC is only new playground for me now. Until FPC have comparable GUI
based IDE with Borland's IDE, then I cannot use FPC for hard
developing. ;-(

FPC is new world for me. I do only first step to this world! yes,
Synapse is not support lot of other platforms, but why? Because I am
on begin of the way.

Ok. For discussing about internals in Synapse you can use special
email list called Synalist. :-)

I not mean pascal library, i mean system library. Under Win32 you can
load any DLL with same interface as winsock. Under Linux you can load
any '.so' file with same socket interface as libc. This is very
important for me, because I need this in my some special commercial
programs.
Of course, whn I go to platform without dynamic loading libraries,
then I still can map my synsock to any static socket library. It is
not a problem.
