It is much more modern language than classical pascal, it is actually closer to Ada. It has threads, it is single inheritance(sp?), multiple interfaces (like Java), has 'class' construct, constructor, private, public, units (packages?) and many more things. I am not sure if it is an ISO or ANSI standard language though. Borland are porting Delphi to Linux now, and it will be released this year, they call it 'Kylix' on Linux. The nice thing about it, is that all those current Windows delphi application can now very easily be ported to Linux by using Kylix to compile the window delphi source code with Linux/Kylix. This is expected to increase the amount of good commerical application on Linux in short time, and will help make Linux more popular as a desktop platform as well. steve
