Thanks, that's valuable. I was able to get a C++ demo program for the board working on SPARC without obvious problems, so I'm hoping to be able to build on that (in between everything else :-) to rewrite the hardware supplier's Windows-only demo in portable form. Shouldn't be a big job and would definitely be useful for ourselves. -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
