[fpc-pascal]Fw: RE: Toolkit
Last month a few people were inquiring about porting the Bob Ainsbury toolkit to FPC - I tracked him down and here is his go-ahead. Have fun!

This email is to seek permission from you to port your TechnoJock toolkit for Turbo Pascal to the latest FPC compiler. We realize that not too many people are still using Turbo-Pascal, so it would seem logical your work could go on in another form. If you like I could release the code under a modified GPL.

Re: [fpc-pascal]Fw: RE: Toolkit
Frank, This is cool. So, IIRC the original TTT sources have a whole lot of ASM code (I don't recall if it was ASM blocks on, I think my use pre-dated ASM blocks). Computers are so fast today that I wonder if it is needed; would we want to port the asm or just replace it with Pascal?

The complaints about CVS not updating are rolling in, so I guess that mean this has happened ;-) ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
