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.

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.

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

You have to change the options to have "writable const".

[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...
"Types of actual and formal var parameters must be identical"
Help will be much appreciated!
=== No need to read the rest!

... if you are curious about what you are helping. That's a graph of
the weather where I am, about 8 days' worth. Red line: Outdoor tture.
