Thanks for the answer. While I am very comfortable with the Object Pascal
language, I know that the original Delphi was in many case simply a very
thin layer over the Windows API (sometimes simply a Pascal translation).
That is why I was not so sure about its use on Linux (especially for 3D).

I just want to confirm that SDL bindings you talk about is not the same as
the JEDI SDL tools? Or does the JEDI SDL components make use of these
existing bindings?

Thanks again
