OK - so its needs v1 of JEDI-SDL not ver 1 of SDLControls

No - I've got the 0.5 JEDI-SDL and have started using it with FreePascal's Lazarus environment.

I'll wiat a bit longer and give it a try in January then. I might try the JEDI-SDL v1. I will be on leave from Dec 20 to Jan 7 (Summer School holidays down here) and may have some time.
