Well, other simpler options are:

  if (input in ['Y', 'y']) then
    WriteLn('blah blah')
  else if (input in ['N', 'n']) then
    WriteLn('blah')
  else
    WriteLn('Input invalid');

And:

  if (LowerCase(input) = 'y') then
    WriteLn('blah blah')
  else if (LowerCase(input) = 'n') then
    WriteLn('blah')
  else
    WriteLn('Input invalid');

I owned this PC and I loved it! It was a gift from my father. I played to Monkey Island and other adventures in it :)

Nice to read this. I also created a fpc wrapper for cfitsio, but never published it as I thought it would have a limited interest.

Thanks for the mention! (I'm the founder of Blogalia :)

IMHO, greaterskies.com is interesting as a project, but:

- I don't think anyone will pay for simple visual star charts: there are free sites, free desktop programs and free tablet/mobile apps out there.

- If not for visual, but deep sky: there is 3Atlas from José R. Torres (9, 11 and 13 mag sky atlas): http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/tools.html Available for free in PDF.

- The marketing problem: find your tribe! There are some forums, like cloudynights.com (or http://www.asociacionhubble.org/portal/index.php/foro in Spanish), but this are mostly for dedicated observers.

My 2 cents.

The first battle SourceForge lost was against Google Code hosting. Google offered a nicer interface and had some features SourceForge hasn't, the most important one, subversion.

SourceForge, like other sites managed by VA Linux/SF/Geeknet, has a terrible record of user friendliness. How many Slashcode-based sites are still running?

"While Qt held that promise, it was a long way from the maturity (10+ years) that .NET provides."

What? Qt 3.0 is even older than .NET.
