Was there an attempt to automatically convert source of dos program for TP with much system-dependance? Of course, there are places that can not be converted without hands (some VGA tricks etc), but it could be possible to highlight such places..
Does anyone know such a tool for legacy transformation? > SetConsoleCP(1251); > SetConsoleOutputCP(1251); > It would be good to add a trick like this to win32 crt (i.e. set Windows > default charset for console) as it would ease porting of old TP programs > to FPC. Great! I have posted that bug, it was found accidentally and was not important for me with new programs. However, your answer eases porting old programs! Still, sometimes such tricks don't help: custom dos character tables require more attention when porting. (However, programs with such techniques are usually overhauled with far pointers, direct port accesses and interrupt calls. I didn't succeed in easy porting my favorite self-written computer game.) _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
