Lazarus cross platform and cross widget set example

Today I read a news item on the Lazarus site about a SI_Browser, a simple DICOM viewer. I didn't know what DICOM was, but google led me to the wikipedia article about it.

At the bottom of the site, I found a familiar link about the MRIcron DICOM viewer. I knew MRIcron is built using Lazarus; Chris Rorden, the developer, has made and paid several successful bounties to support MRIcron and Lazarus.

The actual reason I write this post, is the installation page of MRIcron. MRIcron is a Lazarus application that really shows the strength of Lazarus cross platfrom and widget set support. Chris offers MRIcron in 8 differenent flavours:

• Windows (WinAPI widgetset)
• Linux
• 32-bit (QT widgetset)
• 32-bit (GTK1 widgetset)
• 32-bit (GTK2 widgetset)
• 64-bit (GTK1 widgetset)
• 64-bit (GTK2 widgetset)
• Macintosh OSX
• OSX 10.4 or later (Universal binary, Carbon widgetset)
• OSX 10.3 or earlier (PowerPC, GTK1 widgetset)

Chris, thanks for showing the power of Lazarus.
