[fpc-devel] An incomplete prototype of my ebook FREE PASCAL FROM SQUARE ONE

2008-02-19 Thread Jeff Duntemann
Hi guys-- At the encouragement of Anthony Henry, I've been working on converting my 1993 book *Borland Pascal 7 From Square One* to focus on FreePascal. The book will eventually be released under Creative Commons as a free ebook, though it may take me a few more months to get there. However,

Hi Michael, Just confirming there is no inherent reason why you can't use TortoiseSVN though a proxy cache. I am using it though a squid proxy cache with no problems. I can't remember doing anything beyond configuring the proxy in tortoise. Admittedly my proxy configuration is very simple, may

As a pertinent aside here, I learned most of what I know about X from Niall Mansfield's book The Joy of X (Addison Wesley, 1993). Great overview, lots of good technical figures. Not an implementation guide, by any means, but it made the X system quite clear to me, even though I don't use it muc

MSEifi is still in experimental state. I have working examples but they are not intended for public yet. You are the first person who showed any interrest on MSEifi and its concepts. :-) OK, I am one of the few who are forced (and like to) invest in using Pascal (Delphi-language) in deeply

To me it sounds more like an X like protocol with an X server as plugin. (but then on MSEGUI instead of X widget scale) I understand that when using X you need a widget set at the X-Client site and the X layer transports informations about the primitives the widget set translates the appli

MSEifi is a system where MSEgui forms and Pascalscripts are transported over a communication channel and run in a clientside "MSEgui" browser or browser plugin. For the server side we need equivalent event handling as at the GUI clientside. For another project we need to provide access to a
