Yes, of course, but I have thought about that...

The reason I'm interested in 'Delphi for applications' is
- purely theoreticall
- and maybe, perhaps, for demo projects that have some usefull functionality
but are nevertheless meant to be just demo's showing off Delphi packages. So
these would be targetted towards Delphi developers
- and purely for myself, and I'm a Delphi developer too
- and because I just love a good product, and thus get somewhat worried if
the good product's competitor is accessing a growing 'for applications'
market and the good product itself isn't
- and because, if it's such a problem, then it's also an interesting
challenge
- and because I am in ore when I consider the power of a true 'Delphi for
applications' concept. Imagine all the power and versitality of having your
installed Delphi environment at your fingertips when
modifying/customizing/macro-extending your mail client, for instance, from
within instead of having to go through the lengthy and bumpy and
insufficiently documented road of bloat OLE automation and accessing it only
from the outside. Or imagine even this same concept being used in Delphi
itself, Delphi for Delphi. We all run into situations were a few hundred
lines of C constant declarations have to be translated to pascal style
constant declarations, for isntance. Imagine being able to build a macro for
this kind of thing, and this macro being just plain ObjectPascal that can
not only use an object-model of the Delphi data but also the Delphi
environment it runs in...

Also, if I'm not mistaking, there's a freely downloadable Delphi for
personal use, isn't there? Not that it matters though, since I target only
Delphi developers, or actually not target anyone at all since I'm only
speaking theoretically probably.
