I found this one tonight and downloaded it for futher inspection; it claims to be a Delphi written by Delphi:

"Handel is a free, standalone development tool created with Delphi 3 that enables you to create, compile, and run projects. Handel also supports Form Design Environments such as Delphi and can open and write units, projects, and forms created with Delphi 2 or 3. However, it is not perfectly compatible with Delphi. "

Anybody with any experience whatsoever? Worth having a look at?

I have looked at that in the past. It sort of does what it claims but I had problems compiling it in Delphi which it was written in. It uses an awful lot of direct Windows API stuff and would probably require as much work to port as rewrite. :-\

Good find though. This is also just my opinion maybe someone else feels differently.

I had a look at it yesterday and you seem to be correct. It seems to need some additional components as
which take almost 10 Klines of code.

Anyhow, those interested will find it at:

It claims to be a free standaline tool, but then says it needs Delphi Dos Complier - DCC32.EXE ( to Compile,Run Project)

Hardly makes it standalone if Delphi is required.
