Borland/Corel are said (promised this year) to be releasing a product
called Kylix - core features being native code linux compiler, Kylix Visual
Component Library and a Delphi like IDE. Object Pascal and C++ will be
supported - likewise MySQL and Interbase. (source - Personal Computer World
July 2000).
