There is a web site DelphiForFun <http://www.delphiforfun.com> by Gary Darby that has a large number of programs and examples of solutions using Delphi. Gary is a programmer who has 40 plus years of experience. He was recently nominated for the Spirit of Delphi award. His Pascal experience started with Turbo Pascal up through current versions of Delphi. You can read his biography from the link About Me at the bottom of the home page.

He is starting to use FPC/Lazarus and has nice things to say about it. He is having some problems getting FPC/Lazarus to work. He is looking for help. See Home Page the Oct 4, 2009 entry. Gary can be contacted by the Feedback link at the bottom of the home page.

All of the programs have a nice verbal description of the problem to solve and the solution. For each program the source code or the executable can be downloaded. They are written in a professional quality. The programs vary from fairly basic to solving problems that I don?t even understand the question let alone the solution.

If this collection of programs could be made to run with FPC/Lazarus I think it would be a huge plus, especially if they would work with both Windows and Linux.

Below is a count of the collection of programs.

Puzzles & Projects
Beginners Intermediate Advanced
49 89 73

Delphi Techniques
66

Math Topics
70

Utilities
10

A couple of times I?ve used sections of Gary?s programs when I saw that they provided the solution to a problem I had. Helping getting this collection of programs working in FPC/Lazarus is beyond my skill level.

I dropped him a note.

We'll see where we get.

Here's a thread related to DFF:

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,7240.0.html

I had no problem converting one of the DFF projects to Lazarus on my Mac. He needs to file bug reports or at least indicate what problems he's having.

Thanks.

-Phil
