Hi to all folks here,

i was wondering, to what version of Delphi is Lazarus "compliant" ?
I mean, i have a rather lengthy Delphi 4 book (from my old Delphi
days) and i am planning to read it again, from page 1.
Is the stuff there "accurate" to the current Lazarus version
(language, VCL->LCL ant the like)  or i sould buy a new Delphi book
from a later version ??

Thanks for any help.

No, I would say this book will do just fine. I would say Lazarus is
about 95% compatible with all Delphi 2 and higher, except that it
can't use CLX or .NET, only VCL.

remember to use {$mode delphi} before the interface keywork on your
units to activate delphi compatibility mode.

Also some components are on different places, like TButton is on
Buttons.
