Hello I need the packages.zip from the fpc page. But the download link is not up since a long time. Is there an other link, or can anybody send it to me ? That would be great. By the way, a lot of download links (mirrors) are down on the fpc page. I only found my FreeBSD fpc Version avaliable o

[fpc-pascal]TRegistry unit not functional on win32?

2003-07-09 Thread Ronald L Fox
Aloha, I'm trying to use the TRegistry object of fpc 1.0.6 for Win32 on Win2k to check for the presence of a particular key, 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys' and value name '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ahost.ourdomain.com'. I've studied the Registry unit's source from \source\fcl

You can get the whole of the current v10 or v11 source from ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/snapshot/v11/source or /v10/source in fpc.zip, or you can get packages.zip from these directories too... The ftp site has been down for a few days but seems ok at the moment. hth Regards John -Original Me

Is the unit verified to work on Win NT?? (i.e. NT4 - XP) because the 9x registry is different to the NT one. Could be a security issue. Matt ___ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Well then let me rephrase the question: What functionality are you looking for? All your programs will, by default, be console applications that use write/writeln and read/readln. There is also a few flavors of the CRT unit containing more advanced console-based primitives like ReadKey() and W

[fpc-pascal]FORTRAN-like read

I want to provide a formatted read like FORTRAN's. I have found a public-domain implementation but it concatenats the input data as bytes, making assumptions about the endian-ness and size of various types. The alternatives I've devised are (1) returning a sequence of strings or (2) a linked list
