<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I used Borland T Pascal for many years and later on
<st1:place w:st="on">Delphi</st1:place>. Although I have good training
in Object oriented design and implementation, I have NOT had many occasions
where it was actually needed. Much of my stuff is just number crunching and
some graphic output, (7 colour is fine).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

great deal of the Lazarus power just confuses a simple process. Basically I
need a replacement for Borland Pascal 7. I do, however, like the Lazarus
IDE.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
