You don't need to rewrite the app (unless you want to do it as a

the box, or if you want to do it the exact way you're doing now, you 
can, e.g. configure xinetd to forwar one port to your server to another 
port to another server (but that's extremely dangerous)

I don't know how to implement that type of architecture, you can do a simple

lNet or Synapse

Hi Daniel,

I have spent the whole afternoon trying to install fpc. :(

First I downloaded the .rpm files. The compiler and docs install fine but the 
source doesn't install anything and there is no error or warning. 

So I tried the same source rpm from a different mirror with the same result.

So I removed those, downloaded the new 2.1.4a archive, unpacked it  and ran 
the install script (which I had to interrupt and run a second time as root) 
which ran without showing an error and yet I still have no source installed. 

any ideas please?

neal.

2007-06-09 Thread Leonardo M. Ram
Francisco, that's not only a class, it's a Program containing the THelloWorld 
class.

With Object Pascal (and Pascal), you can divide your program in units, then use 
those units in a
program.

Example:


Unit HelloWorld;

interface

type
  THelloWorld = class
procedure Put;
  end;

implementation

procedure THelloWorld.Put;
begin
  WriteLn('Hello, World!');
end;

end.

program MyProgram

uses
  HelloWorld; // this includes HelloWorld into your program

var
  myHelloWorl: THelloWorld;  // to declare a variable of type THelloWorld

begin
  myHelloWorld := THelloWorld.Create;  // to create an instance of THelloWorld.
  myHelloWorld.Put;// to execute Put method.
  myHelloWorld.Free;   // to destroy the instance.
end.
