What's the difference?

[DiverseReality]

Question:
What's the difference in the different versions of Borland's
[or microsoft...can't remember right now] Delphi, and what exactly
does each delphi prog do? i mean is it a gui compiler or what?
which one is the best?

Delphi is an object-oriented application development tool. Using Delphi,
you can write Windows applications using a very graphical interface, these
programs written in object-oriented Pascal. The strength of Delphi lies in
the triad of fundamental features: RAD, easy database access and
programming, and a very fast compiler.

Inprise's Borland Delphi... -- It's Visual Pascal, and basically a fairly
powerful compiler... (just like Visual C++)
