I don't see 64 bit mentioned anywhere in their 2006 release ?
Is MS holding the 64 bit code, and doing it again as they did
in 32 bit ?
D2006? That's Win32 and 32bit .Net. Borland has published a "roadmap"
that shows framework 2.0 in the next release as well as 64bit *native* not
far behind. You can get evaluation compilers for 64 native now I believe.
DevCo (as they call the "Delphi IDE" team internally) has committed to
following where developers want to go. They've received a loud message that
both native and .Net environments are important to us.

Same with RealBasic.

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_ugroup=*.borland.*&as_uauthors=dan%40mvps.orgHas anyone played with their or anyone else's "Pacal.Net" stuff - is
this going to be a serious option?
Here's one voice you may recognize from these parts:

Working without a .NET?
http://classicvb.org/
Hey! That was useful. (Why didn't I think to just google? I sure am
quick to
suggest it to others. <g>)
It seems that I should spend a little less time listening to the hype
and a
bit more doing a little research.
Been doing research on this issue since before 2001 (
http://vb.mvps.org/tips/stability.asp ). Most of it "casual" research
(trying a few things, keeping my ear to the ground, looking at the
companies and strategies).
Short version: I'm not going to get religious about it, I care about the
business issues. I still like ClassicVB best, Delphi isn't far behind
and it's growing on me, I couldn't find any other tools besides these two
that would let me concentrate on the *application* instead of the code as
well. Deep product and community support. WinApps as well as .Net. Even
VCL (their component lib) is more .Net compatible than I'd expected.
I've completely lost trust in what MS may or may not do to my code with
their development tools. While Delphi isn't absolutely perfect in that
regard, they're not even in the league with MS. Over the years
complaints have been near zero and trivial.
This most recent move with Borland separating Delphi out (or as Duntemann
puts it "Delphi Dumps Borland"<vbg>) promises to be a VeryGoodThing.
Until they complete the sale it's not "in the bag", but everybody who
cares about Delphi's future is pretty "up" right now. One you might
recognize:
