Re: [twsocket] Installing ICS under windows 3.11

Thank you for your very prompt reply to my query. My problem is not with delphi, but I cannot even unpack the .zip file as files in the DotNet directory have long filenames and filenames with multiple extensions. Trying to unzip and setup the directory structures causes multiple error messages

I'm also going to try to add ZLIB compression to the FTP client and server, at the same time as adding 64-bit stream support and removing support for long obsolete compilers. Don't go too fast to remove existing code because then it will be very difficult to merge your changes and those

Hello Francois, Strange after all these years I did not check the AHostName before calling DNSLookup for the first time :) Anyway there is something I wonder. First exception is raised, then TriggerDnsLookupDone is called with the right argument, however because the exception it is never called,

Assign something on the OnError is not the way to go. Should the RaiseException line not be commented out ? What do you think ? The code is OK for both those using OnError and those using exception handling, IMO. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be - Original Message -

You personally agreed a year ago that the current released version of ICS would be last to continue support for long obsoleted compilers. Yes, and this is what I stated again in my previous message. Who are these people that actually need to use new versions of ICS on Delphi 1 to 3? Why

Because there are still a lot of people using old compilers, frequently to maintain existing applications but also to develop new ones, even with Delphi 1 which is used for embedded systems using Win 3.x !! OK, can all those in this list using Delphi compilers earlier than Delphi 5, Delphi

This is a useless discussion. Of course we will have almost every one using D7 or D2005 say he don't need another compiler. They don't care about the other users. I do care. That made the strength of ICS for years. I don't want to discuss that anymore because it's just polemic. I already lost
