Good Tools for Delphi Developers

• Command Prompt Here - Adds a Windows context menu point to start a command prompt in current directory of Windows Explorer, Total Commander etc.

• Copernic Desktop Search - Looking for an excellent free desktop search tool that handles Delphi code out-of-the-box? This tool is actually written in Delphi as well and once you start using it you'll wonder how you lived without it. Yahoo Desktop Search is its closest competitor in terms of functionality and this search tool has one feature that YDS lacks: buttons to search for the next instance of a keyword in a file (in the preview window).

• CrossKylix - A free toolkit to integrate the Borland Kylix (Delphi for Linux) compiler into the Delphi Windows IDE. It allows you to compile native Linux applications from inside the Windows Delphi IDE.

• Delphi Message Assistant 2.0 - A free tool which lets you generate code for ShowMessage, MessageBox, MessageDlg and FindFolder all through a GUI Interface and with preview.

• Delphi SpeedUp - reduces the startup time of the delphi IDE by a very noticable factor (makes starting Delphi 7 nearly instant and Delphi 2006 nearly bearable)

• Firebird Embedded - A page where you can obtain information about an embedded version of Firebird.
