As much as I love Borland, the Kylix GUI is a pretty miserable failure at
their first attempt at X software.  It appears to be a straight port of the
Windows GUI run through wine.  The only Linux ,machine I ever tried to run
it on, it got past the 'font matrix' mess then crashed trying to draw an arc
too big for my video driver, or something along those lines.

I am encouraged to hear that the command line tools work under FBSD, though.
I can at least start developing OP code to get used to the CLX, even if I
have to do the forms by hand.

Have you tested applications compiled against the CLX in FreeBSD?  Do they
work any better than the IDE itself?
