[Mono-winforms-list] Programs compiled on Delphi 2005 using MWFhang on exit

[Matthijs ter Woord]

Hi Pavel and others,

Delphi 2005 IS capable of building cross platform .NET applications,
however, it doesn't help you much. There one crucial point to remember:

NEVER use the VCL (Delphi's component library), and try to keep of most of
the RTL too.

For an example, see the Indy project (see www.indyproject.org). It runs
fully on .NET FCL (without VCL) and Mono. However, due to a low FCL user
base, there are still some unknown bugs, probably.

Greets,

Matthijs ter Woord
