Welcome to Lazarus
 | 
						|
==================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Lazarus is a Rapid Application Development Tool for FreePascal.
 | 
						|
It comes with the LCL - Lazarus component library, which contains platform
 | 
						|
independent visual components like buttons, windows, checkbox, treeview and
 | 
						|
many, many more. The LCL is platform independent, so you can write an
 | 
						|
application once and then compile for various platforms without changing code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
FreePascal at www.freepascal.org is a fast object pascal compiler (and more),
 | 
						|
that runs on more than 20 platforms (linux, windows, BSD, OS/2, DOS, PowerPC,
 | 
						|
and many more).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The LCL currently supports linux (gtk, gnome and little bit gtk2) and windows.
