D7 only produces Win32 binaries whereas D8 only produces .NET code.

Does this mean D8 cannot produce Win32 executables ?

Exactly. No dotnet - no soap with D8.

What do you mean by "no soap with D8"?
Plenty of SOAP support in .NET

I meant (pick your favourite)
- no luck
- no cookie
- no success
- no workee
(i.e. D8 cannot produce win32 binaries. If I had SOAP in mind, I'd have
written it in all caps, sorry)

Not yet. Borland hasn't said whether the forthcoming Win32 update
will be any or all of
1) D7 service pack 1
2) D8 for Win32
3) D9
nor have they ruled anything out.

Well...you can play a lot with yourself - you probably just won't find
anyone else who has dotnet installed too. :)

Hello Mike,
same situation at our project !! (and we've got big problems).
We found:
- no corba support any more (new way: ".NET remoting")
- no direct access to memory (yes, you can use the keywords "unsafe code"
BUT you HAVE to do this for EACH function, procedure (just a "few"
changes to the code). It is NOT possible that the result of a function
/procedure points to memory ("variante Records").
- destructor: you may have to change your code for the destructor procedures
(=> we are not sure, but this could also mean logical changes, because you
don't have any direct control of the carbage collector).
- you will have problems if using "old" units like "decal".
Best regards
juergen
