I'd say it can definitely do what he's asking for - but I'm biased:
as well you should be :)
you did notice the guy posting that message is me? And that I again posted
the link to my CheckRide code project in this thread? ;)
yup... i've been jumping back and forth thru several things while catching up on
my emails...
Thanks for looking up that post and kudos to your memory of ancient threads.
you are welcome and thanks :)
your original posting and Krzysztof's reminded me so much of what i use in some
of my TP6 stuff... but what i use is slightly different in that it uses typed
constants and modifies them in the executable during execution...
one purpose of this would be to limit the execution of a trial program to only X
executions or that it will only run for Y days after it is first executed or
even a combination of those such that only X executions are allowed within Y
days and if either is reached, then the program stops...
i also used this technique to store registration data and options settings
directly in the executable instead of having a separate and external
configuration file...
i can post those old sources if anyone is interested... they only need ask...
the sources are dated May 1993 and i likely saved them from the Fidonet PASCAL
echo (message area)... they might have even ended up in the SWAG archives but i
don't know ;) -=B-)
