Some time ago, suse 7.3 came with a copy of Kylix 1.0.1 (Open Edition). I did not have much time to play^H^H^H^H test it, so I never did much more than install it. So, now that I have I bit more time, I reinstalled it on my suse 8.1, from the 7.3 version rpm, re-activated the registration (it is "protected"), and tried it a bit. There are some things that do not work, and I don't remember if it ever worked, nor are they mentioned on the SDB. In case somebody tried it before and remembers, here goes: 1) Help doesn't work, complains of file such an such not found. In fact, those files are in /opt/kylix/help, but it is searching for them on /home/user. 1b) There is an script, "/opt/kylix/help/hyperhelp.sh", that calls the help system correctly, but not from the IDE. 2) I can not even load the demos. For example, when loading project "/opt/kylix/demos/quickstart/TextEditor.dpr", it complains of "Class TMemo not found"; and TStatusBar, TToolBar, TActionList, TImageList, TMainMenu, TOPenDialog... it seems the whole class library is not found! I canot run any demo! -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

That's the problem, no bandwidth. Just an V90 modem, paying by the minute :-(
No problems encountered installing and using it. This version also has C++ Builder included in addition to Pascal.
How big is it? I might convince some one to get it for me. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Jola Carlos. I take it your in Spain. I wonder if you have access to, or know someone who has access to, a University network/lan. I say this because most Universities have fairly fat lines and a 60 MB or so download would be fairly painless and quick and they could burn it to a cd or zip, et al... Just a thought.

If its not a hassle to mail a CD from the US to wherever you are, I'd be willing to burn it onto a CD for you and mail it out. I just downloaded it last night..

I realize this might be a "silly thought", but have you considered contacting Borland directly and requesting a trial or OE CD? [mentioning, of course, your bandwidth limitations...] Since they package the windows trial of BCB with the kylix program, they probably package a similar kylix trial w/delphi or BCB (which is Borland C++ Builder, in case you didn't catch the reference) You might want to be on the look out for any Borland "tours" [in particular, one with IBM...] I went to one and got a few "extra" notebooks of the presentation [to give to my user group members] turns out there was a trial copy of k3 enterprise on CD inside... - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+pu0uV/YHUqq2SwsRAnPKAKCH480iGovghFtBjGSZ6akO4CnZ0ACgnzZ6 DkTklRYobRr474sPD7JUnVc= =rWPy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
First of all, thanks to all that answered. The 03.04.23 at 13:30, Curtis Rey wrote:

Correct :-)

Mmm... not a bad idea. But no, not currently, most of my friends work on small bussiness with limited bandwidth. But I have a friend that is always telling me if I want him to download some thing for me ;-) Mmm, I'll have a look around to check if some magazine has it on a CD: I might be lucky. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
