i have finally gotten around to trying to convert the old FTN/BBS MKSMG
library to FPC... it was written for DOS TP/BP and has defines for
windows which i assume is the early delphi... this is a first run at
this and i'm only working with a project file that contains all the
units in the uses clause...
PPS: sorry if this is rambling... today is my birthday and i'm also
celebrating that, such as it is -=B-)
Happy birthday, hopefully the novelty hasn't work off yet :-)
Thinking back to when people started doing this sort of conversion, as a
general point keep an eye open for any code that loops to poll a key or
e.g. display an on-screen clock. That sort of technique might be fine in
DOS, but as soon as you have a multitasking OS you need to look for
alternatives.
