Hi, For those users that want to browse Kylix 3 IDE (for whatever reason) - maybe to port one or more features to Lazarus IDE (lets think positive), or to compare and see how great Lazarus IDE has become. Or to compare the Kylix compiler to the Free Pascal compiler for compatibility reasons etc. I have made my copy of Kylix 3 Open Edition available to everybody. I included in the archive my activation file and some unofficial fixes.
Kylix 3 Open Edition is the freely available one for GPL based software development. I still see numerous requests for Kylix 3 Open Edition on various internet forums - though I always recommend FPC and Lazarus to them. I couldn't find any active location on the internet to download Kylix 3 OE, so looked through my old archive CD's and found it. I also emailed Borland and Embarcadero, because you cannot use Kylix 3 OE if you don't activate it, and the activation URL mentioned in the Kylix 3 product doesn't exist any more - but neither Borland nor Embarcadero has the facility any more to activate the product (no surprise there) - hence the reason I made my activation file available too. This is they typical reason I HATE any activation software - perfectly legal software that becomes useless because the vendor went out of business or the product got discontinued. Also, SourceForge.net has numerous projects developed with Kylix 3 OE, but cannot continue any more because Kylix 3 OE is not available for download. If you ever need a copy, email me in private and I'll send you the download URL. It's about a 97MB download. If anybody knows of a more public location I can upload this file to, please let me know - I have a serious limit on internet bandwidth. Borland cannot complain - Kylix 3 Open Edition was free for all to start with. I purchase Kylix 3 Pro and Kylix 3 Enterprise from them (though these copies or not for public download obviously) so they already got my money (and what a waist it was). I hate to see projects like on SourceForge wither and die because the development tools are not available for download. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
