@mod: If you want to code some in linux you can try Kylix (http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_kylix.html)

... played a little with it. It is more castrated than Delphi PE, so I'll keep on delphing ;)

After I downloaded the express version then ran a file which I had earlier written at work. Unfortunately it failed building saying it couldnt find the file afxwin.h :-(

Looks like I'll have to purchase the complete edition anyway.

Express verion has no MFC support, so naturally it doesn't want to compile it. Standard version or professional has MFC support.
