	progress on many fronts posted by Peter Czanik on 25th May 2007 There was progress on many fronts in the previous months: I got some help from a FreePascal developer, and the serial port driver I use now works fine with the latest version of FPC. These fixes got recently integrated into the 'official' version of the driver for the benefit of any non x86 hardware. Lazarus, the Pascal IDE I use, got some new components, from which a chart unit comes very handy. It's a very nice eye candy, just needs too much CPU resources at the moment. Hopefully it will be optimized a bit... As soon as I got ready with a one channel version of the control software, a clustered version of the measurement system got ready (at least in prototype) The current challenge is to get timing right for eight of these units, which starts to get more and more difficult due to the limitations of Pascal.
