Delphi is an IDE that lets you make pretty Windows programs
just like the ones you buy at the shop :-)

It is sold by Borland and a few people on this list use it,
they just are not admitting it.

I use it to develop interfaces that can talk to AVRs in our
product HOWEVER even though I would give these away by posting
them on the website I could find myself in troubles because they
are developed on a free personal edition which cannot be used for
commercial applications. I am prepared to pay for the program BUT
Borland has a free version (as above) then a professional version
(the cheapest) which costs about AUD$1600.00 which I'm not prepared
to pay because it would not return any money and therefore cannot
justify the costs.

I have tried Lazarus which is an open source program that
works pretty much the same as Delphi....except that it doesn't
work :-) and it worth every cents you don't pay for it.
