I believe that it is actually Remy Lebeau who is doing that (I might be wrong).. In any case I received Indy 10.6.2 when I installed through OPM from Lazarus 2.0.8 on Windows. >> it is a rather steep climb since Indy10 is entirely blocking and the >> Delphi components were event driven. > >Indy devs explain it here.

As you might have seen in various posts I have made recently I am trying to port a Windows service application written in Delphi7/Delphi2007 running on Windows to FPC/Lazarus in order to then move on to Linux. I have worked my way through it in Delphi 2007 to add ifdefs in a lot of places in order to prepare for the conversion into Lazarus and now I am in Lazarus trying to weed out the remaining issues. Not close yet... But it seems like my use of LNet in any case has been accepted by FPC/Lazarus as a replacement for TServerSocket. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
