Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2003 10:33 am Post subject: Delphi version 1 |
|
|
Hi,
I have a problem with some old software written in Delphi 1 for win 3.1.
But I can't find my CD's with delphi 1, so I can't install it back on my new
pc.
Can I download it, or is it possible to use another version of delphi.
I have Delphi 3, 5 and 6 available.
Thanks

Delphi 1 is available on your Delphi 3 CD - check the Delphi16
directory.

Well, you start by getting D3 versions of all the third-party stuff you are
using in your app and for which you do not have the source. Then you try to open
the project in D3 and try to compile it. If you did not do too many nonstandard
things (like messing with element 0 of strings to modify the length) it may even
compile with little modifications. Then you need to test it, of course. If you
need to work with old stored data (binary files) written by the D1 version you
need to check the record types used for changes in data type sizes and alignment
(D1 records where always packed, D3 records are not, so you need to explicitely
declare them as packed, Integer was 2 bytes in D1 and is 4 bytes in D3, and so
on).
