Interesting, why is the release I am using so old when it is the
latest available on the download page at SF (for Windows)?
But the SF page lists the version as dated 2009-10-26, not 2008-10-xx
as you suggest. Still about a year old.

I asked about the installation files for Windows in a previous thread
but the responses were directed towards building myself and it looks
like a very hard undertaking, especially on Windows. The pages
referenced discuss how to get sources, setting up compiler options and
what have you to build a version of fpc/laz, not exactly what a newbie
needs concerning the development IDE. :-(

Too bad....
