Asynch Pro sure does cover everything - it just seems like overkill for
this job where we are mainly doing 2400bps connections to smartcard
readers.
Asynch32 from Varian Software looks as like it might do everything we
want for now and its $500 cheaper...

Damm - a while back I ported a Delphi app to a web app - I remember
thinking how easy it would be to write something that took a Delphi DFM
made a DHTML+JavaScript version of it.
Should have actually sat down wrote one rather than doing it by

, and
special handlers on shut-down, exception handling and close application.
Why not just drop a check_all_windows_on_startup procedure/component on

We tried PVCS and found it to be slow and awkward (it may
have been upgraded
I haven't used PVCS for a long time but thought it was pretty horrible.
Have used Tlib (nice but expensive), Versions (Ok - cheapish) and MS
Visual SourceSafe.
Of the three I would pick SourceSafe as it can be
Reserved words - just like you can't use words like 'begin' or 'write'
as a variable name in Pascal.

My conclusion... better than D3 but still not anywhere as fast as say
ODBCExpress or Adonis.
We stuck to ODBCExpress as we liked not having to re-distribute the BDE.
