Re: [PEDA] SDK and Delphi Questions
Earth to PEDA! Earth to PEDA! Either I am lost in space, which is quite possible, or the PEDA List Server is. I sent the following post to the PEDA Forum, and was supprised to not get any replies. Then I noticed that the list seems to have slown down to a crawl, with only a very few posts showing up, and I thought my ISP must have lost all of my mail again (which they do on a regular basis), so I logged onto Yahoo! Groups and checked the PEDA Archive, and lo and behold, it only shows postings up to October 17th. Has the world come to an end? Did I miss the meltdown? Anyway, I am reposting this in hope that I can get some responses.

What is Borland Delphi? I asked one person and they told me it was kind of like Visual Basic. I am totally clueless on this one (and a few other things), so any help in attempting to get started here would be greatly appreciated. OK, so I do a search on Borland Delphi on the net, and I come up with at many different versions and with prices all over the map: Delphi 7 Studio Professional Upgrade - $289 Delphi 7 Studio Professional Academic - $96 Delphi 7 Studio Enterprise Upgrade - $1569 Delphi 7 Studio Enterprise New User - $2700 Delphi Studio Professional 7 Full Product - $893 Delphi 7 Personal Full Product - $87 Delphi Studio 7 Academic - $389 Needless to say, I don't want to buy more than I need, and at the same time I certainly don't want to go out and buy something that is not going to do the job. I even have a question in my mind as to whether or not the SDK modules might be designed for and work better with an older version of the product, as I have run into this sort of thing before. Should I be looking for version 5 on Ebay or something? On the other hand, does anyone have any idea what I will need for the DXP SDK if and when it ever shows up? According to Murphy's Law it will probably be different.

[PEDA] (PEDA] PCB: place track
I dont know if this topic has been covered before but. in 99SE, I set up a hotkey (W) to PCB: PlaceTrack.I disabled W so that Windows menu does not interfere. When I place track using my W key it always places an invisble trace which has NO NET assigned to it.I tried the same thing on my laptop several months ago and dismissed it as something I didnt want to troubleshoot at the time. Can anyone give me some insite to why I am getting an invisible traee . Yes, my layers are turned on and all display is final, and no I am not in single layer mode. Any help ?

Re: [PEDA] SDK and Delphi Questions
Has the world come to an end? Did I miss the meltdown? Well, you know computers - they are always causing problems ;-) The same week that everything is put under computer control and there are no humans in the control loop and no off switch, is the week the world will come to an end. Sounds like SkyNet in the Terminator movies...

Re: [PEDA] (PEDA] PCB: place track
Very very nice Dennis, You hit the nail on the head.

Re: [PEDA] (PEDA] PCB: place track
and thanks to you too Harry for the right answer Mike - Original Message - From: Harry Selfridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Protel EDA Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] (PEDA] PCB: place track Well, the first thing that comes to mind is that you are calling the wrong process for Protel99SE. If you look at the existing menu item for '(P)lace (T)rack', it is really (P)lace Interac(t)ive Routing. The process is ManRoute:RunExternalManualRouter and the parameter string is $Description=Interactively route connections. I suspect that PCB: PlaceTrack is a carryover from Protel98 that is no longer functional.

Re: [PEDA] Windows XP- Can't Open Read Only Ddb's in 99SE
you sure they didn't come off of a CD ? i don't use XP but i haven't heard of this one Dennis Saputelli Rusty Land wrote: Using a new Windows XP Professional system when I try to import previous Ddb's they all open as Read Only. I've messed with assigning Read Only parameters to folders and files for quite awhile. Now the files are all set to not Read Only while the folders are Read Only- something to do with System folders in XP, seems every folder on the system is Read Only?? Any idea what's going on? Should 99SE work well on XP?
