Correct. I don't want to start another fire storm. I was refering to
just the Kylix IDE. It uses Wine which as you indicate is statically
linked in. The point I was making was that because of that it can't be
used for FreeBSD, OS/2 or other platforms. Lazarus can go where Free
Pascal goes which is getting further and further every day. So Kylix
will be great until a client asks for something like a Solaris version
of an application.
