[DUG]: ntdll.dll

2001-06-14 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi,

Sorry to bother you with this one - I know it got discussed some time 
ago already.
I had to migrate to a new machine (nt4 server sp6)
and now I cannot put the ras component onto a form.

It comes up with: access violation at address   in module
ntdll.dll read of address 00018

I remember there was some simple remedy but I don't know any more
 what it was.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 thanks

RE: [DUG]: Pricing ...

2001-05-09 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi Borland,

I see you are working hard towards driving the last customer towards 
the competition.
Prices to me seem to get astronomical. The so called new delphi features in the past 
were often just 3rd party trial version components which were as in case of mapi 
absolute useless crap and a wast of library space.
We do not need to pay for that I guess.

I don't know if these new xml etc. components are ok for commercial 
use or if they are just another marketing issue.

Anyway I will not fork out 5.5k for an UPGRADE. There is a limit to 
what you can spend each ear on development tools as a single  
developer.
Of course we all should buy (try) kylix as well which takes the 
borland bill 10k per version???

Do you really think the majority of clients can afford that? Losing 
30% of clients will force you to raise the price even further I guess 
and finally all of us will have to go somewhere else

have fun

But this pricing makes Borland's problem mine! In the long run the higher
the price, the fewer the developers, and thus the higher the price must go!
A very nasty circle. And one that I worry many will soon have to get off.

I can see no realistic way for Borland to get out this circle with regard to
Delphi. I do hope however that if they decide to abandon the windows
development tool market that they will hand Delphi over to the open source
community.

[DUG]: setting of parallel port pins in nt

2000-08-18 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi,

Has anybody written some code for nt which can set a couple of pins 
on the parallel port?

It is no problem with 95/98 but nt doesn't let you write stuff to the 
appropriate address.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

[DUG]: bde 5.10 bug

1999-10-06 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi,

I got the message via tech alert that the new bde (5.10) has a bug 
concerning increment fields.
The workaround was suggested to replace IDSQL32.DLL  with the version 
from BDE 5.01.

Has anybody found this dll for download or could somebody e-mail this dll to 
me or maybe put on the www.delphi.org.nz for download ??? 

thanks

Re: [DUG]: web development.

1999-04-01 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi Matt,

I can only recomment webhub as I think its absolutely reliable and 
performs well.
It does take a bit to get used to it but that pays back. I started 
with ISAPI's and every minute spend on it was a waste.

Re: [DUG]: FILE of ....

1999-02-25 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi Wilfred,

 Change your compiler options to use shortstrings by default, or explicitly
 declare the size of the string, or change the type of the time variable to
 "shortstring" instead i.e.

To change the compiler option does not seem to work, while defining 
the string size works fine.

thanks for your help

[DUG]: network

1999-02-08 Thread Siegfried Kirchmair

Hi,

How can I check if another machine is up except by using file system 
e.g. fileexists('\\other_machine\drive\...).
The problem being that by checking on a file on the network the 
program seems to wait for the timeout if the other_machine is down 
and my program seems to hang.
I need to check this before the bde tries to access a paradox table 
on the other machine as otherwise the bde hangs up.
Is there a kind of ping function?

thanks
