Hi,

Borland/Delphi has a "technology" called CLX... it's ment for cross platform development.

Another project called DWPL uses this CLX for Text Gui's and Graphical Gui's.

It's pretty impressive.

One can use Delphi to design a graphical gui etc... and then thx to this DWPL/CLX magic it can also be compiled/linked etc... and suddenly it's turned into a Text GUI !!!.

I would like to develop a Text Based GUI application that can be cross compiled to all targets.

So maybe this DWPL/CLX stuff can be compiled with Free Pascal 1.9.6 ?

I haven't tried it yet... but later I will... right now I have to go :D

Bye,
Skybuck.

Getting CLX parsed/compiled is not the most complex part. Getting it working afterwards. It also contains Delphi specific issues and uses classes/methods not yet implemented in FPC/FCL.

IMHO you can better spend time on Lazarus and create a Textmode target of the LCL.
