Doug, Hi
Thanks for the welcome.
As a veteran Turbo Pascal user, (since ver 3.0 in 1986), I was introduced to
Object Pascal in 1989 when I upgraded to TP ver 5.5, although it was quite
different to Object Pascal we use today. BTW, I still "sort of" know my way
around Turbo Vision.
I've been using Object Pascal, (as we know it), since Delphi 1.0, which I
purchased in 1995. I also own a copy of Turbo Pascal For Windows 1.0 which I
acquired in 1991, but I did not make much use of it.
I have used most of the Delphi releases since, including 2009, (even used
Kylix). I do prefer the older IDE's though (Delphi 7), although the later
Delphi compilers support some cool OOP extension that I could do with in
FPC. Perhaps in time they will be included.
I first came accross Free Pascal prior to ver 1.0 (ver 0.96? around
1999 - 2000). IMO, the Free Pascal compiler really rocks. The FPC team are
very good at what they do - Good work and thanks guys!
Over the last few years, since mid 2005 to be precise, I have been developing
an Object Pascal Class Framework Library. Where possible, the library has
support for both MS Windows and Linux. The library comprises hundreds of
classes divided in 130 plus logical units, each dedicated to providing
support for a specific section or area, (Timers, schedulers, IPC, fault
tolorance, database, xml etc, etc)
Although the library is suitable for GUI applications, the idea is to use the
library for console based Linux applications on the x86 platform. My
intention is to produce sophisticated multithreaded and multiprocess embedded
applications for use within the process control and security industries.
In order to take my work to the next level, I'm looking to partner with
person(s) or company(s) and perhaps someone has some ideas and
advise in this regard.
If anybody is interested in more detailed information regarding the class
library, they are welcome to email me at libinfo at silvermono.co.za
Regards to all,
Nino Luciani
