1) A simple Kylix binary of a form with only one control, a "Close" button, is 396,000 bytes. When I examined the binary with a hex editor I found the phrase "Delphi for Linux, Version 14".

2) Kylix has the equivilent of "Intellisense", including "." activation and key sorting, and it works VERY nicely!

3) Kylix has an Alignment tool that looks and works like VFP's.

4) Just like VFP, you can open multiple projects at the same time.

5) From my playing around I've come to the conclusion that Kylix is as easy to sue as VFP and has more features and power. You can copy, inherit or use objects in the repository. Copying doesn't use inheritance. Inheriting an object allows changes in the repository object to affect the inherited children. Using an object in the repository allows changes to the object in an app to be inherited by the object in the repository. Sort of like backwards inheritance. One can add objects to the repository. They become sort of like 'templates', as Borland refers to them, or like VFP class members.

So far I am very pleased!
