i hope nobody here would take this negatively, but how
about we switch from turbo pascal to freepascal? with
that, active people of the freepascal community might
come to be interested and join. it may also be more
meaningful to do so, as freepascal has the HIDDEN
potential for use in the industry or for mere
hobbyists, and is being actively supported and
developed for free. lazarus, an ide for freepascal as
delphi is to borland pascal, also has great potential.

not to mention that firebird, a derivative of
interbase from borland, is also gaining more
attention...
