Still can't even get to it here. :-\

Disappointed to see that they don't mention FPC between the 'list of developer tools you currently use...' We should mail them about that ;)

I agree. You being one of the more official spokespersons for FPC why don't you do just that? Or should we stay low and come out screaming when we have the FCL done? :-)

Quick impressions:

Seems that they consider using WINE as an option. Accountancy dept. probably showing it's biceps there :)

Has anyone seen the announcement about the survey Inprise is doing with regard to their creating a Linux version of Delphi.

Read about it at http://slashdot.org

There has been alot of reader feedback about it, surprisingly negative, but I have yet to read about anyone actually taking the survey. Everyone assumes the site has been /. but I don't think they have things setup correctly and no one has taken the survey yet.

If anyone does get to the site announce it here so we can all go look at what they are asking users.

Yes I've just seen some link on DrBobb's page :

http://www.drbob42.com/delphi/

The Inprise link is : http://ww5.inprise.com/scripts/disurvey.exe/gensurvey?surveyid=1

but it seems to go nowhere ...

Well, the link to the survery is supposted to be http://ww5.inprise.com/scripts/disurvey.exe/gensurvey?surveyid=1 but I think you'll find there is no host ww5.inprise.com. If you use www instead of ww5, then you get a page not found. Backing up to the scripts directory, you find that there are only a couple of javascripts there, not EXE's.

Sounds like someone somewhere is having someone on.

Jeff.

Most of is is pure rubbish, completely unfounded.
Same pulp you find on 95% of all web pages.

but I have yet to read about anyone actually taking the survey. Everyone assumes the site has been /. but I don't think they have things setup correctly and no one has taken the survey yet.

Try to get on www5.inprise.com - I can't even do a nslookup for it. Old problem with Inprise/Borland.

No luck for the past 15 minutes:
