title: Lazarus compatible with Delphi 5?
body: <p>We use Delphi 5 on Windows in our school, and of course it's good to have at home, too. But since I have Ubuntu and I don't want to either use ancient software or pay hundreds of dollars I will have to use Lazarus (which seems to be pretty nice). But it has not the same compiler and maybe not the same libraries, so will the code written in Delphi 5 compile with Lazarus? How much are they compatible?</p>
