If you google for vim delphi syntax you can easily find a delphi
syntax highlight file for vim. You can then connect .pas/.pp/.inc to
that one in a similar way.

2007-06-09 Thread Aruna Goke
I am completely new to programming and I have been watching this list 
over some few months.


I would be glad, if  i can get a link to where I can get a book to 
download in order to learn pascal.


Can someone tell me where i can get free pascal compiler for ms-windows

2007-06-09 Thread Rick Seiden

Any tutorials out there on using Event Driven programming with Free Pascal?

I'm hoping to create a server/client combo that will need to respond to 
both input from the client part, and input from the server part


  my server/client combo app
 +--+
User --- | server part--client part| -- another server
 +--+

So, when my user talks to my server, I need to be able to respond, and 
when the other server talks to my client, I need to be able to respond.


Anyway, just a simple event driven programming tutorial using some 
version of Pascal will probably help.


Thanks

Are you trying to create a Peer-To-Peer architecture?, something like Windows 
Messenger?.

I don't know how to implement that type of architecture, you can do a simple 
google search to find
examples, but since it uses socket communications you can implement it using 
lNet or Synapse
libraries with FreePascal.

Re: [fpc-pascal] PASCAL programming for Novice

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.

You can:

uses

...

var
  VHello: THelloWorld;
begin
  VHello := THelloWorld.Create;
  try
VHello.Put;
  finally
VHello.Free;
  end;


or you can:

unit UnitWithHello;

type
  THelloWorldClass = class of HelloWorld;
  THelloWorld = class
procedure Put; virtual; abstract;
  end;

...

unit AnotherUnit;

uses
  UnitWithHello;

...

procedure DoHello(AHelloClass: THelloWorldClass);
var
  VHello: THelloWorld;
begin
  VHello := AHelloClass.Create;
  try
VHello.Put;
  finally
VHello.Free;
  end;


or you can:

uses
  UnitWithHello;

type
  THelloWrapper = class
  private
FHello: THelloWorld;
function GetHello: THelloWorld;
  protected
function InternalHelloClass: THelloWorldClass; virtual; abstract;
property Hello: THelloWorld read GetHello;
  public
destructor Destroy; override;
  end;

...

destructor THelloWrapper.Destroy;
begin
  FHello.Free;
  inherited;
end;

function THelloWrapper.GetHello: THelloWorld;
begin
  if not Assigned(FHello) then
FHello := InternalHelloClass.Create;
  Result := FHello;
end;


or you can:

uses
  UnitWithHello;

type
  THelloWrapper = class
  private
FHello: THelloWorld;
FHelloClass: THelloWorldClass;
function GetHello: THelloWorld;
 protected
property Hello: THelloWorld read GetHello;
  public
constructor Create(AHelloClass: THelloWorldClass);
destructor Destroy; override;
  end;

...

constructor THelloWrapper.Create(AHelloClass; THelloWorldClass);
begin
  Assert(Assigned(AHelloClass), 'error');
  inherited Create;
  FHelloClass := AHelloClass;
end;

destructor THelloWrapper.Destroy;
begin
  FHello.Free;
  inherited;
end;

function THelloWrapper.GetHello: THelloWorld;
begin
  if not Assigned(FHello) then
FHello := FHelloClass.Create;
  Result := FHello;
end;


And so on.

It's what I like to call a pass through server.  My ISP won't let me 
send email unless I'm on their network (at home).  So, I have a server I 
wrote in VB that listens for a connection on a non standard port. When 
connected, it connects to my ISP's SMTP server.  Anything it gets from 
the email client, it passes to the server.  Anything it gets from the 
server it passes to the email client.  Works like a charm.  Only problem 
is that it's in Windows.  I'm working towards getting rid of that 
windows box and replacing it with linux. So, I need to re-write this app 
in Linux.  It's really the event part of it that I'm concerned with.

You don't need to rewrite the app (unless you want to do it as a 
learning exercise). sshd can tunnel connections this way right out of 
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)
