I think it would make more sense if Delphi was based on Ada than Object Pascal for example. > No, I was making a different point here.

As it wouldn't make any difference for C++ if some site mentions a library "suitable for Java, Cobol and C++". :-) -- Ioannis Vranos http://www23.brinkster.com/noicys [I am using 90 characters word-wrapping - (800/640) *72= 90.
