Have had it running in my Delphi frontend for over 2 years.

interesting!
in bass can you send a pointer to a file,( as in in memory) as to set your own buffer size or do you simply send a file handle.

I too am a Delphi developer if anyone wants to get a collaberation together and start a Delphi based front-end. I am more than willing to offer what time I have.

Count me in too, been working solely with Delphi for about 8 months now.

I have a lot of experience with Database programming and custom components. Never being satisfied with any front end so far, I'd like to combine all the good features of current front ends into a FAST, clean piece of software.

I think the most important part of programming a front end is a good solid look. Thats mainly what determines if it is a "solid" (read commerical) front end or not. Is there anyone here that is good at graphics design and a solid prioritized design plan. Anyone else interested? Chime up here.
