RADical performance Windows development 
 
Delphi is the only Windows development tool to combine the 
Rapid Application Development (RAD) benefits of visual 
component-based design, with the power of an optimizing 
native code compiler and scalable database access. 
 
Delphi represents the next generation in: 
  Performance--with the world's fastest compiler 
  Rapid Application Development--via visual Two-Way-Tools 
  Component Reuse--a true object-oriented 
  environmentScalable Database Access--the fast track to 
  client/server 
 
The fastest way to the fastest applications 
Delphi is the next-generation Windows development tool, 
combining the visual design environment with the unrivaled 
performance  of a world-class optimizing native code 
compiler. Delphi includes the world's fastest compiler, 
capable of compiling Windows applications at more than 
350,000 lines per minute, resulting in executable files 
(EXEs) that are robust and lightning-fast. 
 
Delphi executables are also immediately deployable and 
completely royalty-free, and no runtime interpreter Dynamic 
Link Library (DLL) is required. Delphi applications 
typically execute up to 10 to 20 times faster than 
interpreted p-code. 
 
 Only Borland can offer this unique combination of 
integrated tools including its award-winning report writer, 
ReportSmith, the Borland Database Engine, and the Local 
InterBase Server. 
 
RAD, from prototype to production 
Delphi accelerates Windows development by providing a 
comprehensive suite of visual design and debugging tools 
that move you seamlessly from prototyping to deployment of 
finished applications. Delphi's Two-Way-Tools help you 
optimize your programming time by switching effortlessly 
between visual design and the underlying source code. 
 
Reuse components to maximize productivity 
Included with Delphi is the comprehensive Visual Component 
Library (VCL), a collection of more than 75 standard Windows 
objects such as dialogs, buttons, and list boxes, along with 
a host of additional reusable objects including database 
controls, notebook tabs, grids, multimedia controls, and 
much more! Delphi's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) 
is fully customizable. Custom reusable components, external 
DLLs, and commercial VBXs can be rapidly added to Delphi's 
Component Palette. 
 
Delphi is a true object-oriented development tool, including 
polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. Delphi's 
component-based architecture allows you to seamlessly 
integrate DLLs, VBX controls, and OLE 2.0 servers into your 
applications. 
 
Smooth scaling to client/server 
Delphi has been designed to provide an easy path to the fast- 
growing market of client/server applications development. 
Transparent local SQL development is possible with Delphi, 
using the built-in Local InterBase Server, which enables you 
to rapidly develop high-performance ANSI SQL-92 compatible 
applications for standalone systems.
