JM>If you're not doing any of that (i.e. doing regular apps only), JM>is it worthwhile to upgrade from D2 to D3? Jud - One of the other items of interest is the way their new version handles component libraries. It seems that they no longer require that the run time library be recompiled each time you add a component. That seems like a major advantage to me. I seem to remember reading stuff in the TurboPower documentation talking about a limit in the number (or size, I'm not sure which) of components which can be compiled into their library. With D3, it appears that this has gone the way of the dinosaur. --- * OLXWin 1.00b * Press "+" to see another tagline. --- InterEcho 1.19 * Origin: PC-Ohio PCBoard * Cleveland, OH * 216-381-3320 (1:157/200) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 269 DELPHI Ref: EAM00007 Date: 06/15/97 From: JEAN-MICHEL DOSSOGNE Time: 07:48pm \/To: KRISTOF CAERTS (Read 0 times) Subj: Bonjour le Nouveau!

Is Win95 feeding the file names with some kind of delimiter? Handling long filenames on the Win95 or NT command line can be done by putting quotation marks around the long filename, i.e. c:\"my long filename" I am not sure though, why you would have to do this if you are using the Delphi 3 File Open/Save dialogs and standard file handling functions. Delphi should be doing the work for you unless you are trying to parse the path/filename yourself or passing the stuff back to a command line program. Keep in mind that if you are passing it to a 16 bit app, you will need to use the abberviated filename that windows 95 creates with any long filename rather than a long filename. Hope this helps.
