Simply put: All needed libraries to make it useful.

- No C wrapper library sources for Qt.
  So forget about VisualCLX unless you own Kylix.

- No DBExpress, no Midas libraries. The useful database units that
  are provided _NEED_ these libraries.

  So no DataCLX, unless you own Kylix, or you use 3rd party components,
  of which there are none at this time.

- All NetCLX components are missing altogether.
  So no apache or server development, unless you use Indy.

Not to mention that:

- The system unit is only useful for Kylix, because you need special compiler
  magic to make it work. Which compiler has this ? Kylix only.

- Exception unwinder is useless without the needed compiler support.
  The only compiler that can work with this is... Kylix.

Michael.
