I know. Another reason why I want to get there. But currently, there is a lot of native code in there. Even if it compiles with the latest version, the code still wont port. Regards, Tim

I actually think it works well for russian now as I sorted out all the charset stuff. The main thing is that somebody has to translate the language file. Regards, Tim

Currently, Delphi 2007 is required to maintain the code. I want to bringt the code to compatibility with the current version so people actually can work on it. Getting there is probably very hard for people not familiar with the old frameworks so releasing the code would be pointless, but getting in the way of getting there. Regards, Tim
