Fwd: ...... Delphi on Linux ? ... !

[Oto Buchta]

Neda mi to, ale musim zde toto forwardovat. Jenom se bojim, aby nedoslo k tomu,
ze cely svet bude vyvyjet windowsi aplikace a pomoci wine je porvozovat na
vsech moznych platformach...

>>
>>- When exiting, the IDE crashes and drops me into the Wine debugger.
