Orwell Dev-C++ is amazing - even better for teaching and learning, but in Linux I have to use it on WINE or on a Windows inside a Virtual Machine.

"_Readme Compiling with Delphi 7.txt" says:
4) Other versions of Delphi should work, but I've only tested Delphi 7.

Are there plans for porting the sources from Delphi 7 (2002) to Lazarus (http://lazarus.freepascal.org/)? Or to start developing it on C++ itself using Orwell Dev-C++?

Thanks.
