After five years of development, Free Pascal 2.0 is ready. With the new compiler, its authors believe they are ready to become a larger open source development platform. In the MS-DOS world, Pascal was one of the major programming languages and is by means of Borland Delphi an important programming language in the Windows world. In the open source world, Free Pascal is the leading Pascal compiler and while open source is a bit biased using the C language, the Pascal language has a lot to offer to open source programmers.

There is a project that is just starting that aims to allow the current Delphi 7 and Kylix IDEs use the Free Pascal Compiler as a option to the standard delphi one.
Check it out on the borland newsgroups under Kylix Non Technical:

The project is looking for help, so check it out.
