Originally it was started around 1990 with QuickBasic, then 1991 or 1992 moved
to Turbo Pascal when it still wasn't very big. Inbetween there was another
compiler and around 2005 it moved to Freepascal.
Sourcecode now:
- 4MB, 120.000 lines, about 100 units
- build in server written from scratch (which is not very difficult)
- own memory management for the server
- the software runs 24/7
- more than 100 clients use it
- runs on a debian linux os x86 system
- plain screen 800 x 600 pixel or in a window (windows, kde) which puts the
800x600 bitmap to the window
- minimum dependencies, nearly everything I wrote myself (serial
unit,graphical output, browser access, etc.)
- very close to the operating system
- if an update is available all the clients have to do is to press an update
button, all data structures (if they change) are updated automatically
