The code is (from memory) in koladd.pas. Needs little change.

From what project or repository... this one https://github.com/rofl0r/KOL ?

OK, so in the larger picture what does that stuff do?

In very few words: KOL allows you to create the smallest most efficient applications possible without too much sacrificing convenience.

It is truly an amazing piece of work.

I take it that's a "yes" :-)

So in short, it's an application-level object framework, but not a replacement for the LCL etc.

I also found this earlier which might be of interest if anybody's looking at this sort of thing from a database POV:

@Mark,
It is a replacement. Mixing with vcl/lcl code defeats its purpose.
For now, yes, that is a good place to start.

KOL is simply is a replacement for the VCL/LCL that creates much smaller executables.
It is a framework on its own: do not mix with VCL/LCL code.
It is originally written in the early 2000's by my good friend Vladimir Kladov with many additions by other authors, including me. (also maintainer)
It is also, for all intend and purpose, win32/64 only although some linux efforts have been made in the past: only usable for console/terminal applications, Kylix based.
It also has a learning curve if you are not familiar with old school objects instead of classes.
But the result is that your executables become about 75-90% smaller.
A full simple GUI app in FPC is around 50K...
(I am one of three that actually can maintain it: it is good for parser testing...)

Got it, and kudos for the work you and others have expended.

Well, actually, me and Marcov did a presentation about using FPC on CE, long time ago.
2006 like?
