Stuff going on at the BDNRadio show.2005-10-25 02:17:42 AM delphi72 I have heard just about everything I need to so far! It is the first time in a long time I feel comfortable that Borland "gets it". Good statements from Scott, Danny, and Allen! Allen said the #1 request for support is 32bit compiled code (not .Net)!!! Scott said that he tries to follow the lead of his development team and they feel that a native 64win compiler is needed, so I support it and the team 100%. About my only complaint is that it sounds like Danny only gets to work on W64 and Unicode when he has time, which puts in question when we will see it as a product. It would be real nice to see a preview compiler and VCL in the Avalon time frame! He did mention that we might see just a 64bit compiler only preview with Highlander, but only if he finished everything early for Highlander, which he doubted. I am feeling more comfortable with the future of my code base and Delphi. And maybe the management team aren't such idiots after all, but not convinced there yet :-) PS - hoping for more detailed information from Borland at Borcon on W64 delivery!!!!!
