Ok i'll try to correct this.

Same as above ;)

i see. Currently i won't add big features to Dev-C++ since i'm planning to
rewrote it that it can works on Win32 and Linux, and with language support.
You'll have to wait for some months until big features are added, currently
updtaes will only contains bug fixes and small new features.

I don't know yet which library it will use by default (i think they will be
more considered as modules). I think the Win32 version willbe able to work with
Win32 API + GUI cross platform libraries (gtk, wxwindows...) and the linux
version cross libs only (normal ;)

quite difficult ;) as i said above, i'm not going to write this kind of big
features now :(

In a few months Borland will release Delphi for Linux. They will make the
compiler free so that everybody can use it.
