(some small breakage every release, but trivial stuff) The Kylix port looks like a Kylix port, with that, I mean a patched up Windows version, emulating windows programming models. (IIRC it emulates windows messaging systems using SYSV queues, something which was disabled in default kernels on FreeBSD at the time) I never ported it, since I didn't have faith it would be doable, maintainable and portable enough. Instead I focussed on Indy. OTOH, to be fair, everything was in a far more primitive state when I made that decision, so one could have another look. I contacted the author of Midware, and he gave me the advice to take a look on the Midware port to Kylix. Does anybody have an idea which version is easier to port to Lazarus? Kylix probably, but keep in mind it will be limited to Linux/x86. Best route would be to try to get the Kylix port working, and then slowly migrate to native, after a careful inventarisation of the features that it uses. _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
Re: [lazarus] Midware port to Lazarus
Probably Kylix version. BTW: Midware is freeware but only for non commercial applications. Regards Boguslaw Quite confusing... Here is a citation from the website of Midware: MidWare is distributed as _freeware_ and contains a complete help file as well as the full source code for all *MidWare* components and many sample applications. Source code is heavily commented, so you should read the source carefully and try to understand how it works. If you have questions, there is a related mailing list http://www.overbyte.be/eng/support/index.html available for support. The same is stated in the readme.txt file of the Midware package. On the other hand in source files there is the remark you made Best regards, Zsolt Balanyi _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

You can't compare midware with synapse. Midware is a 3-tier framework. Synapse is a TCP/IP suite. ICS (on which Midware is built) is comparable to Synapse.
