I'm slowly converting to RAD Studio 2010 [C++ Personality], but have XE and will likely get whatever comes after XE2, assuming they build 64-bit C++ into it. Once I convert my existing app from CBuilder 6, I'm good with anything from 2010 on. In the meantime, certainly I can continue to use the current version of ICS with Cbuilder 6.
Thanks, I. -----Original Message----- From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of twsocket-requ...@elists.org Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 3:44 AM To: twsocket@elists.org Subject: TWSocket Digest, Vol 469, Issue 5 Send TWSocket mailing list submissions to twsocket@elists.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to twsocket-requ...@elists.org You can reach the person managing the list at twsocket-ow...@elists.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of TWSocket digest..."

But come on, IP V6 IS coming and it is big and it will be needed also in "legacy" applications developed with older Delphi versions.

My app uses DBISAM v3 from ElevateSoft and Delphi 7 is the last Delphi supported. To go to DelphiAnythingNewer I have to go to DBISAM v4 or ElevateDB - both of these options have substantial work involved for little visible advantage to the user, so for them moment I'm doing the user stuff and sticking with D7. ICS V5 is working well for me.

Hi ! I'm planning the next ICS version. Being unable to use any features added to Delphi in the last 10 years is very restricted. Maybe we need to cease support for old Delphi versions ?

Still using the old good D7. If you are asking this them I suppose you haven't coded yet any significant part of the planned new version? What changes you have in mind? If you are not going to rewrite what is done already, don't see what special, not available yet, features would benefit so much of the new Delphi versions language enhancements. Other than new, more high level components. The client components really need to be more advanced, IMO. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:35:36 -0400 From: "Darin McGee" <da...@basehex.com> Subject: Re: [twsocket] Should next ICS version support anything before DelphiXE ?

When I can, I do it in 7. But then again I can appreciate the effort involved in keeping ICS working over so many versions and would understand having the newer ICS only supporting the last few versions of Delphi. As far as Fire Monkey, not interested in a port however hopefully sometime in the future Linux. -----Original Message----- From: twsocket-boun...@elists.org [mailto:twsocket-boun...@elists.org] On Behalf Of Fran?ois Piette Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 2:59 PM To: ICS support mailing Subject: [twsocket] Should next ICS version support anything before DelphiXE ?
