Rewrite

Well, Atom has been dormant for a while as personal issues have intruded into my project time, but I am trying to get back into the swing of things.

Looking at the code, I decided that I needed to move away from Delphi and to an open development language, and have decided to use FreeBasic. FreeBasic is open source, cross-platform and just an excellent basic programming language all around. You can find FreeBasic right here on SourceForge and it is worth a look.

Rather than just porting the Delphi code though, I am going to rebuild Atom from the ground up. This will enable me to fix some of the hack-up code I have in the system and allow me some flexibility in adding some GUI stuff later down the line.

This will be a completely new product, so I am not trying to maintain compatibility with the Delphi version of Atom which is of course, still available here.
