   Dear Gentelmans,   
      
   In 1995 when I first time installed a Linux (Slackvare),   
   there on distribution was a Pascal to C translator,   
   I didn't try him, so I don't know does he work correctly,   
   but as C++ has templates and Delphi only lists implemented   
   with pointers I think some kind of class "Vector" is posible   
   to write Delphi to C++ translator becouse C++ has   
   everything that have Delphi...   
   So you only need to learn C++, as they says more powerful...   
   This project is to big for me (alone), but I think   
   that Prolog++ is ideal tool to realize this...   
      
      
                                     Thanks, Robert...!!
