A TCP/IP suite was one of the things I was thinking about too. I see TurboPower's Internet Professional components in the Lazarus sources but haven't tried them yet. Are they working?

Unfortunately, Indy is heavily thread based, and the Thread support exists only in version 1.1 of the compiler.

As an alternative to Indy, I've had excellent results with the Synapse library by Lukas Gebauer. In addition to supporting just about every protocol on the planet, I've found Synapse to be very stable and easy to maintain. It uses a blocking socket model so no thread support is required... and it already works with Kylix. If Lazarus doesn't have a working TCP/IP suite, perhaps Synapse would be a good first candidate.

There is no wishlist. Do we need it?

In 1999, I obtained permission from Rob Marsh to port his Generic Containers (Maps) package to FPC. My "plan" was to have it ready for the initial release of Megido. ;o)

Please start it.

The same goes for the (excellent) midware components.

This is only the HTML viewer component. It basically works. No images.

Kudo's for the new package management system! It makes it so simple to install and use custom components.

The installation process was smooth and intuitive. Thanks for the package management system... and the nice package!

I was wondering if there is a wish list somewhere for porting other useful packages and units to Lazarus? In 1999, I obtained permission from Rob Marsh to port his Generic Containers (Maps) package to FPC. My "plan" was to have it ready for the initial release of Megido. ;o)

It looks very interesting.
It should not be too hard to get it to work.

I've just posted (and submitted to the main website) a package that includes many of the components I've already released. The only ones missing are those specifically used for CBT, and I'll be releasing that package separately.

It includes TESDSound, THoverButton, THTMLHelp, TMRUlist, TPieChart, TScrLabel, TTilePanel and TTimeGraph. All packaged and ready to go... automatically registers all components in the palette.

Thanks. Glad to hear that someone other than myself was able to install it so easily.

I wish for all Delphi freeware components to be ported...

But in the meantime I'm porting the ones I need... Or writing my own! ;-)

Personally I would like to see a suite of TCP/IP components similar to Winshoes.

Unfortunately I know nothing about how to do this yet.

I need to e-mail the guy at DSP back again... He said he was going to add a Lazarus section.
