I'm going to apologize for taking this even further off-topic, but, if the OP is looking at Delphi, he should know that Borland provides a version of Delphi, called Turbo Delphi Explorer, that you can download and use for free. We also offer a priced "Professional" version, but for the OP's interests, the Explorer edition will probably work just fine. http://www.turboexplorer.com/ http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_turbo.html Full disclosure: I say "we" above, because I *am* affiliated with Borland: I'm Borland's in-house attorney for intellectual property and product matters. (What's an attorney doing on a Python list? I was a developer before I was an attorney, and still play around a little bit here and there, and I usually use Python when I do.) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
