Go for it.  :-)

That screenshot is of the Fedit3 application. Sam Liddicott work on the
original Fedit3 product and he had aquired rights to use it in the
Lazarus project as our RAD environment. However, Sam reported a few
weeks ago that he had to leave the list temporarily and has returned
yet. Since neither Shane or myself have actually seen the release
document he has for Fedit3 I am starting to worry about using it as a
base for our code. In any event you can still look at it and either
start to see about porting it (it is in Delphi) or at least use it as a
starting point for coding something original. You can get the Fedit3
code at the following URL:

You might also want to look at Handel.

   ftp://ftp.miraclec.com/lazarus/handel.zip          592,736 bytes
   ftp://ftp.miraclec.com/lazarus/handel_source.zip   229,385 bytes

Start by sending patches and new files to Shane, Marc, or myself (in
that order).   :-)
