I sat down and thought about it while chewing on a can of Pringles. At first I had an itch to download Visual C++ for Windows from a torrent, but I did not put my pirate hat on because I thought there was a legal way to solved my issue. There was something that I did not like about using mingw for Win32 that I did not like. I pondered about it and Delphi and Ada came into my head. Ada has a legal issue using Win32. The express version of Visual C++ has a problem with distrubuting the compiled executable. It is supposed to stay on the machine that compiles it. Delphi does not have that issue, but it is not free. I then looked at Pascal and found out that free pascal is around and it does have support for win32. It is free too. I just have to learn pascal. The last time I used pascal was on the commodore 64 and it was on cartirdge called "Oxford Pascal". Yes, who would have thought that Pascal has a debut in the movie Tangled.
