Not sure where to post this but since it is a port from Delphi, thought I'd put it here.
Got one of my old Delphi creations to compile last night! Wasn't sure I'd ever get there but with the help of this forum and some plain old stubbornness, I did it. (For a while I wasn't even sure I'd get Lazarus installed correctly!) I had to remove some things to get it to compile but at least I understand why those had to come out so I can start working on putting those back in. Also, I'm not saying the program executes correctly, it just compiles but it feels like a huge success.
Cool stuff!
