Borland says Kylix will be $99 on CD, and free thru inet download...

well, it would seem borland is going to attempt to sell kylix at the end of the month. i…
Actually, there will be a totally free version..... IDE/CLX, and even their database setup. Only catch is you can't charge for what you develop with it.

Dang it... I thought I saw it somewhere else. I remember somebody suggesting that there was an open source initiative of some sort that was building the IDE that I saw on the Project JEDI web pages.
Check out:
for some interesting free software projects that are using object pascal (although most of this development is currently using Delphi rather than Free Pascal, but I digress right now). Interestingly enough.... Lazarus is mentioned. I hope (and maybe I really do hope) that Lazarus was that interface, but I may be mistaken. I can't seem to find it.
BTW, is it just me or is something fishy that all references to the JEDI web pages have been taken from the Borland web site. The only references that I can find right now are a couple of press releases that mention JEDI (from back when they were really pushing the "community" connection sites). I found the web pages, but I had to use Google. What kind of PR campaign is going on now?

It's kinda sad really. I've owned every delphi since D2, and Borland has always hooked their customers up with an upgrade price. Not this time it would seem.

you wrotethe clx yes. the ide no.
You've to use the command line compiler????

Develoopers don't care much about that, I think the problem will be more deployability and speed of the system. Even if they make money with it, they only choose their target group so small that there will be room enough for FPC/Lazarus.

i will miss borland when they go under.
their pricing is plain nuts (the lower package - desktop dev is 999USD or 1499CDN)
i can't see them making up their costs on the sure to be poor sales returns.
in any case, it is good news for lazarus! borland may have gotten their 1.0 out the door first, but i think it will remain standing on the stoop.
Go Lazarus!
moose.
i suppose that if you work for a larger software house that doesn't matter. as a small developer, i can tell you it matters to me. everything must have a reasonable rate of return.
i guess as a side observation, as others have noted, my past business with borland seems to be forgotten.
no upgrade pricing etc.
anyways, i am out of buffer space for my O.T. rant
