wine users - Oct 2002 - winelib: porting Delphi apps

Just a (probably crazy) thought: What about porting Windoze apps that
aren't written in C? I've got a Delphi application that currently runs
under Virtual PC under OS 9.2 on an eMac (PPC Processor), which would
run much faster without those OS layers in between. I don't really have
a clue as to whether this really far-out-whacky or not cuz I am not
really a Delphi, or, for that matter, C developer. I just have the
Delphi source code for the app in question and do know some Pascal
(learned it in school 20 yeas ago).

What does winelib do exactly?

Regards, Frank

Winelib is for C/C++ only. Adapting it to other languages would require
a lot of work. However for Delphi applications there is a ready
solution: Kylix!
