<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Firstly, if I
was to write an app that doesn't require a GUI, that runs on
both Windows and Linux (with no XServer) is that classed as a
console app?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">And secondly,
is it fairly straight forward to write a console app that
stores and retrieves data from a Firebird database, on the
basis that I want to be able to use either the standard
Lazarus components (or Zeos) to talk to the database?</div>

A problem might be that there (right now) is no "Widget Type" in
Lazarus, that has no GUI binding and allows for using stuff like
TTimer, TThread.Synchronize, TThread.Queue and QueuAsyncCall(). <br></div></blockquote></div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Ah, yes. That would be ab issues as using a TTimer would be essential for what I am planning :(<br>
