AB> Thanks Jame, I'll have to look for a book on FreePascal.  
    
  IIRC, there is ONE book out on FPC... it was originally written in german  
  because that's where that author and developer reside... i'm not sure on the  
  status of the translations to other languages...  
    
  FPC has a support website with forums but i prefer to use their mailing  
  lists  
  as i find their forum software hard to deal with...
