Hello everyone.

I've been very busy using Free Pascal and I wanted to show what can be done with Free Pascal. I know the core development team will not be surprised but other developers and indecisive C++ programmers who are tuned in might be!

I really am not sure how or if this should become an open source project or not - but I am not opposed to the idea.

I'm not trying to sell this system to any one here but I'm just getting the ball rolling as far as bringing this system to fruition.

There is a lot of write up about Free Pascal in general in this web page I am showing all of you and the online manual whose URL is in one particular screen shot is not published yet.

This was built using FPC, rtl, odbc unit, mysql unit, those string classes and double linked list classes I wrote about recently, and my console lib and my own console UI similar to things like turbo vision which is built on the mouse, video and keyboard units.

I hope I have put Free Pascal in a good light and have correctly represented it.

Any and all comments are welcome:

Congratulations, Jason! You're one of my Pascal heroes. I know you have done many things using FPC.

Your product is awesome. If you want to make FPC got noticed by the world (especially C/C++ developers out there) by using this application, I suggest you to make this application open source. Another great application using FPC that's not able to show FPC off is Pixel, because the the author insists to make it closed source (and commercial).

I'm not trying to sell this system to any one here but I'm just getting the ball rolling as far as bringing this system to fruition.

Or at least, you can make it dual-license ala mySQL, if you want to get some advantages over it. About the database backend, actually I prefer to choose Firebird because it has same spirit as FPC: good product for free (without any additional terms). FPC+Firebird+LightHTTPd is unbeatable combinations, they're all free, multiplatform, and great. :)

I hope I have put Free Pascal in a good light and have correctly represented it.

Yes, I believe you do. I'll help to spread this product in some communities where I involved in.

Pixel is a good product. That it is closed source, written in FPC, is a plus: it shows that FPC is open and suitable for both open source and commercial development.

If people want to make money using FPC, this is good; If they acknowledge this, is even better. Both facts are a credit to the compiler.

I never said Pixel is not a good product, indeed it's a great product. But I doubt it add significant acknowledgment to FPC as it's a closed source product. People don't know (and don't care) if a product is made up using FPC or not since people can't see the code.
