negative.  Kylix got mostly hit for not cleanly importing code out of=20
Delphi-5 Projects and for having a somewhat incomplete Database support =

Community.  But I also have to remember my non-open source wife and =
family=20
who would like to see something coming out of all the hours I spend on =
the=20
