First let me say I am really grateful to people who have the skills and desire to make things like FPC and Lazarus happen.

I'm looking forward to finally having the time to becoming a Lazarus user and maybe contribute a little to it's success. I'm a very happy Delphi user and if Kylix had worked out I'd probably be using it.

I have problems with Lazarus on both Windows and Linux. I have posts on both forums with a lot of views but have had essentially no responses. I've done a fair amount with Delphi but I'm new to Linux. I'm wanting to try moving a lot of my Delphi stuff to Lazarus on both Windows and Linux. I knew there would be a lot of issues for me with Linux but was not expecting issues with Lazarus on Windows.

I do not have the skills to actually solve problems with fpc or lazarus but I'm certainly willing to report problems that I run into and try some testing. I'm going to send separate mailings on the Windows and Linux problems I've found.
