BL> The only bit missing is the MKS$ converter for the ndx files.
BV> You could always tell Frank it is a new Keno algorithm :)
BL> ROFL! It might just work... but he's pretty smart.
BV> I reckon you could sucker him in.
FM> You will have now seen that he did. :-)

I had noticed that :)

BL> Every time I see Frank's work, I'm tempted to rush out and buy
BL> Pascali but the $400 keeps stopping me. Actually, VB is pretty
BL> slick.
BV> Hmmm...I got the "junk fax" for Delphi this weekend. Delphi is the
BV> Turbo Pascal equivalent of VB and it is supposed to be a ball-tearer.
FM>Yeah, I want it - how come you got that junk mail & I didn't?

Dealer info.

BV> Delphi will initially have an RRP of $350 for the CD version.
BV> Upgrades from TP will RRP at $280
FM> Hmmm, maybe it'll be cheaper for Borland Connection members.

I'm not sure. I didn't get any info on that. No doubt you will be
hearing from Borland direct. Then again with their current problems,
perhaps they can't afford the postage. It might be time to call them.

BV> There aint much margin in anything nowadays but the dealer price
BV> will shave a few bucks off, if anyone is interested. Hey Frank, how
V> many TP disks do you have ? The RRP will increase in 90 days to be $795
FM> One full legal set for Dos, and one full legal set for Windows. Of
FM> course I'm a bit wary about the initial release of any software, but
FM> this one sounds *so* good.

I thought so too. Shit, I might even have to learn Pascal. As you
only need to upgrade one of them, I can do you a "deal" if you want
them both upgraded :)

BL> I haven't looked at using DLLs yet, but I suspect that this will
BL> let it do any bloody thing at all, if I ever get around to it.
BV> It isn't hard at all. All you need to do is to prototype the Function
BV> in the declaration section of GLOBAL.BAS, then you can call it just
BV> like any other function.
FM> It's probably even easier to write the actual DLL in TP for Windows,
FM> I might just make boB a DLL & send him the source to drool over.

I had a feeling that you might have a tendency towards sadism :)
