1 Lazarus is a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Free Pascal. It includes
2 LCL which is more or less compatible with Delphi's VCL. Free Pascal is a GPL'ed
3 compiler that runs on Linux, Win32, OS/2, 68K and more. Free Pascal is designed
4 to be able to understand and compile Delphi syntax, which is OOP. Lazarus is
5 the part of the missing puzzle that will allow you to develop Delphi like
6 programs in all of the above platforms. Unlike Java which strives to be a write
7 once run anywhere, Lazarus and Free Pascal strives for write once compile
8 anywhere. Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above
9 platforms it means you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical
10 products for different platforms.
