I have seen a couple of mentions for Delphi and am "sort of" interested in learning more about it. I won't pretend to be a programmer of much worth and have not had reason to do any Pascal since I finished my EZ_Elevs macro several years ago. I assume that I'll really need to bone up on Pascal before approaching Delphi.
Last night, I decided to start reviewing and pulled out my EZ_Elevs source code. Since EZ_Elevs was done as a suite of modules linked under one macro, I thought a good place to start would be to take each module and make it into a separate program.
I went through the DCC1 and DCC2 process for the first module. Then, when I went to the DCL stage, I got the "Object module" query. Durn... I remember seeing that eight or nine years ago when I first tried playing in DCAL and recall that it was simple, simple, simple to resolve, but could not remember what I was supposed to do.
If you know what I do, please respond to me here at
orwoody@ev1.net and at
oran.woody@cityofhouston.net (I'll be at the office much of the weekend).
Should you have any suggestions as to how to move to Delphi, please feel free to pass them along.
Also, since EZ_Elevs is just 2D, is there any reason to convert it to Delphi (if that is the right way to say it). I think in DCAL and assume that DCAL is just a Pascal oriented compiler. Will there be a compiler put out by DataCAD that is Delphi based?
Thanks much,
Woody
