AG> I'm going to start programming in delphi. But before I begin, I would 
AG> like to know if there are major bugs in it. I tried CA-VO before.. 
AG> But there were several bugs in it.. I hope Delphi is a bit of 
AG> bug-prove?
Like anything, there are some bugs but nothing you can't work around. The 
product is absolutely worth the investment. 
AG> Can you make programs that use modem in it? Not to difficult? ex. 
AG> Connecting to internet? is it possible? For example.. You have to get 
AG> information from a database on internet?
Yes...I haven't tried to do any modem connections with it yet, but you have 
full access to the Windows API, you can access the system at any level you 
need using Inline assembler, so you won't be limited. You can also get 3rd 
party products to allow easy modem connections as well as internet capability 
(I have not used any, but there are a few advertised that look pretty good. 
If you are using Win95 or NT, Delphi 2 is the choice because you get Version 
1 (16 bit) and Version 2 (32 bit).  
Hope this helps.
