“Cowpland, along with Dale Fuller, interim president and CEO of
Inprise, announced they would work together in a strategic alliance
to bring Kylix, a C,/C++/Delphi, rapid application development
(RAD) program to Linux.”
“This program, which will be equivalent to Inprise’s already
planned version 6 of its Windows programming tools, will be powered
by a new high-speed set of C, C++ and Delphi compilers. In
addition, Inprise will implement the Borland Visual Component
Library (VCL) on Linux.”
“Publicly Inprise is committed to bringing Kylix to market by
early next year at the latest. Whenever it’s done, Kylix will
represent the first full-featured, Windows-style RAD environment
for Linux. While Kylix ultimately will work with all Linuxes,
Inprise will work first with its partners.”
