"Inprise/Borland this week hosted more than 200 third-party
authors, consultants, trainers and tool and component vendors for
the first in a series of worldwide events designed to prepare third
party products and services for Kylix. Also participating were
leading Linux distributors including MandrakeSoft, TurboLinux,
Corel, Caldera and SuSE. Announced in September 1999, Project Kylix
will be a high performance Linux rapid application development
environment that will support Delphi, C and C++."
"'The same way that RAD tools, like Delphi and Visual Basic, set
off an explosion of applications for Windows in the mid-90s, Kylix
is planned to set off the next wave of mass Linux adoption,' said
Dale Fuller, interim president and CEO, Inprise/Borland. 'There
are millions of developers worldwide that are waiting for
Kylix.'"
