If you would have taken a peek at borland.com, you would have found the following: Pricing and Availability Kylix is available in three versions: Server Developer for professional and corporate Apache Web developers for $1999, Desktop Developer for professional application developers for $999, and Open Edition for open source and free software (GPL) development only will be available for free download or for purchase at $99 (with hardcopy documentation and CD). Depending on your needs the program costs between $0 and $1999. >>I see Borland has released their new Linux RAD tool, Kylix. Has anyone had a >>chance to get a look at it yet?

You can find more info at http://www.borland.com/kylix/ I haven't been able to locate the URL for the download of the open edition yet though. Regards, Johan
