[fpc-pascal] Widget Sets, Lazarus, Graeme Project, FPC Win32

[Jason P Sage]

Couple Questions Folks
----------------------
1: Does Lazarus Work well in Win32 yet?

2: Is it difficult to make a GUI that compiles for Linux and Win32 with
Lazarus?

3: To Do it do you need to compile the actual FPC Compiler with Lazarus
extensions or is it just Units you add to your code?

3: If Lazarus is Win32 Capable, is Graeme's Widget Set work on Win32 also?

Thank You in advance.

I've tried Lazarus in the past, and didn't have much success. And frankly it
seemed Linux Specific. I know there were developers porting it, but I never
saw a working Win32 Demo. 

Bottom line is that I've been watching/waiting for Lazarus to Mature to the
point to where you just download something, and can make a hello world
dialog window in both Win32 and Linux and maybe toss some widgets on that
dialog (Text Box, Combo Box, List, tree View, scroll bars, a data grid like
MSFlexGrid, Labels, buttons, checkboxes, and maybe picture box or
something).

4: Has Lazarus progressed to this level yet? 

Forgive my ignorance here, I have spent time trying to find out, and
download stuff - but my efforts have been futile. Additionally, if it
doesn't work on windows I get gun shy. Not because I'm a windows fan - I
love Linux - but I TRY to write applications that compile on both.

Thank you in Advance.
