Subject: Fwd: DELPHI (TM) DIRECT NEWSLETTER - FEBRUARY 2001

Mikie,

I am on a Borland list serv for Delphi. As I might have mentioned before, 
they are coming out with a robust programming language environment for 
Linux (not free!), called Kylix. It is really Delphi in sheeps clothing. 
Obviously there are differences, since the O/S underneath is different, but 
at the demo I saw, it looked pretty cool.

Since you are in (or is it leading?) a Linux group, I thought I'd continue 
to pass this sort of info your way.

I admit I did not read this entire e-mail, and it may mention this, it may 
not. There will be a slimmed down version of Kylix available for Free 
sometime in mid Summer. I can get more details if you want.
