Trouble is, I end up with 2 or 3 blank lines at the bottom of the Memo box. When I resize the box smaller, it automatically creates a vertical scrollbar. Anyone know how to eliminate the extra blank lines? I just want a nice looking box to display some info. I tried a Panel without success. I'd rather not use the form's client canvas with a GroupBox. If there's a better way than a Memo, please let me know.

I have come across a couple of packages which seem as though they might be usable in Delphi ... 1. DWINSOCK for Delphi. 2. TCP4W (TCP4W15.ZIP), a TCP package which comes in the form of a .DLL. There is also a TPW pascal interface unit to the DLL, and 2 or 3 example programs. I would like to ask if anyone knows of any other appropriate packages, or if anyone has any experience they would like to share on this subject. So far, I'm just groping my way into TCP/IP and FTP. --- PPoint 2.00 * Origin: Kingston, Canada (1:249/109.11) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 269 DELPHI Ref: DB400026 Date: 06/29/96 From: MICK MCHAM Time: 07:58pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: Delphi equiv for C Does anyone know if there is a *BORLAND* product that is the C equivalent of Delphi? I have used VisualBasic but am ready to throw it in the trash because of problems with shared control files (.vbx files). In theory, VB's idea of shared controls and libraries is good but in practice it ain't always so good. If I had the option of producing a stand alone .exe in VB, I could get around the "shared files" problem I am having with it. I already know non OOP pascal but I would rather go right to a "visual" C package. I assume that Microsoft Visual C will not produce a stand alone .exe just as Visual Basic won't. This is why I am asking about whether there is a BORLAND equivalent to Delphi based on the C language. ...

This makes me ask "has anyone ever thought about starting a Delphi snippets file" if there is one where would i find it, if not then how about we start one. Just a thought. :-) Pete.
