Re: [twsocket] Help with re-install simply WSocket?
Sorry I didn't follow up earlier suggestions more quickly... I wanted
to research things further before asking again
To recap: I'm trying to install ICS on a Win98Se system, for use with
Delphi2. I've done it before... but a while ago... so I MAY be help-
able!...
When I try to install even WSocket, my Delphi refuses, throwing
up
Cannot assign to read only property
... when it hits
FLogFile.Size:=0
... in ICSLogger.
FLogFile is of type TFileStream, which is a Borland supplied
descendant of TStream, with the size property read-only. I don't
think the {+$J} directive is about getting around this sort of thing,
is it? (I did try that route... from several directions... no luck.
My guess: I wonder if ICSLogger is an extra feature, added since the
last time I installed ICS (the time I was successful with D2/Win98!)
And, still guessing, ICSLogger uses something D2 unfriendly.
My hope: I'm wondering if it would be a huge task, or a wreck-the-
basic-features-of WSocket / WSocketE / WSocketS / HttpProt to take
ICSLogger OUT of those ICS components, and get around the can't-
compile-with-D2 problem that way? I presume ICSLogger is something to
log some information as packets travel back and forth? Can I live
without it?
I'm not looking for a promise that I have the skill to take it out...
but if you know it would be a futile exercise which would make any of
the components I mentioned Just Not Work, I'd be grateful to be saved
the time.

You have to change the options to have writable const.

Re: [twsocket] Help with re-install simply WSocket?
Assignable Typed Constants
This is the correct option.
... but I could only get into that when I had a project open.
I don't remember very well D2, but the options for the library are for sure
stored somewhere. If not, you can add in the offending source a compile time
directive {$J+}. Normally this option is already somewhere in ICS source
code.

[twsocket] Help with re-install simply WSocket?
Sorry folks... Help? About 2 years ago I set ICS up on a Win98 system with Delphi 2... I am not a complete idiot, I CAN do it... or at least I could. Ideas on where I'm going wrong in the following would be very welcome. I tried to repeat my previous triumph but.. so far.. no joy. I like to keep things simple. I like to keep my core Delphi system as untouched as possible. So... 12 Aug 07, I downloaded ics.zip (ICS-V5 Distribution) from Overbyte. I unzipped it to a folder of it's own. (Yes, I kept the ics paths intact.) I backed up Delphi's cmplib32.dcl I set up a sub-folder (ICS) within Delphi's delphi 2.0\lib\ so that my ICS stuff wouldn't be all mixed up with other components. I copied icsdefs.inc, WSocket.pas and ICSlogger.pas to that folder... and then I tried (within a freshly started Delphi 2, no app-in- development open. Win98SE environment.) Component | Install | Add... (I did what was necessary to get Delphi to look at the WSocket.pas file) On the first attempt, the compiler objected to a line in ICSLogger. The line was... else FLogFile.Size := 0; ... and the objection was... Cannot assign to a read-only property Thoughts? I'm so frustrated! I know I have ICS working nicely on a different computer, same Delphi (ver 2), same OS (Win98SE). Possible a different ICS... I think it was abou 2005 I set it up on the other machine. Help?? Please?? === Further clue? In desperation, I remmed out the offending line, and tried to install the component again. (Yes, I realize it would have been an unreliable component!) This time the compiler fell over in WSocket.pas at Status := WSocket_WSAIoctl(FHSocket, SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS, @KeepAliveIn, SizeOf(KeepAliveIn), @KeepAliveOut, SizeOf(KeepAliveOut), BytesReturned, nil, nil); the error message was...

Re: [twsocket] Help with re-install simply WSocket?
Thank you for the quick reply... especially in support of an old environment. I wrestled a bit with your suggestion... no joy. Maybe I misunderstood. More in a moment. First a little horn blowing to reassure you that you're not dealing with a complete idiot: I'm delighted to say that I HAVE managed to install some core elements of ICS in a Delphi 4 / Win98SE environment. With that, I accomplished the need it now job but I'd still like to solve the Install to Delphi 2 / Win98SE problem. You advised that my problem could be because I need to change the options to have writable const. I tried... but I don't seem to have found the right thing. Is this a setting I make to my Delphi? Do I tweak the code from ics.zip? The closest candidate I could find was in Project - Options ... where there was a tickbox for Assignable Typed Constants ... but I could only get into that when I had a project open. Clarification of your suggestion would be welcome... sorry Tom On 12 Aug 2007 at 19:08, Francois PIETTE wrote: From: Francois PIETTE [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Date sent: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 19:08:00 +0200 Subject:Re: [twsocket] Help with re-install simply WSocket?
