Decision Cube not working when more than 2GB are available

Hi,
I recently posted this report. Sorry that it is duplicating 2303, I
will try to be more carefull in the future.
However ... the duplicate is Closed and the resolution is "Won't do".
May I, please, know why? Is it because of lack of steps? I think it's
pretty clear: an integer can't hold more than 2GB values. Does that
need any special steps to reproduce the problem? There is also an image
showing the failure. Not to mention the bug is reported in 2002. Is the
fix not worthed? I mean 6 lines of code that need a different type
declaration will fix the damn thing.

Decision cube has been in maintenance mode/inactive since D4. AFAIK there will
never be any more work on Decision cube.

I also use Desicion Cube and I just love it. Unfortenatelly I had also
some problems, but found unoffical batch for it. And it worked.
If there will not be a new release I would like to get full source
code with Highlander releases so I could extend or fix bugs as I'll
need.

Not to me! I think that an integer, assuming that you
are meaning a 32-bit (4-byte) signed integer, can
hold 2^32 or about 4.3E9 values. --JohnH

I am glad Decision Cube works for you :-)

That's just great :-(, so:
- We will never have a 100% Delphi help file and have to cope with VB
and Net {*word*99} instead;
- we will never have a better VCL grid/dbgrid. hmm, is that hard adding
at least a background, or flat scrollbars
- no TDBStaticText (report 7005)
and other issues, more or less important for me.
I have a question: what is more difficult a) write new code or b) check
someone else's code?
My point is, I am willing to donate code and expect no royalties
whatsoever for that; probably others are willing to share their
findings after years of working with Delphi. Some DevCo folks could
just verify submitted code, we could also check and vote on it, etc
.... and we end up with a better/bigger core source code (RTL, VCL, DB,
etc).
You guys already've done that. AFAIK BDS is using VirtualTress now and
probably many other 3rd party.
***
"Won't do" it's really sick when there are few lines of changes
required, also when other guys submitted various solutions to their
problems.
How many of us can tell customers "Won't do", when they report a clear
problem and not only that ... they even tell you what the solution is.
It's ridiculous.

ah well ... but if you will try it, it will work I suppose, because
your English is much better than mine

Isn't the full source already shipped? I see what looks
like the full source under ..\Win32\Decision Cube. But
I didn't try building it to see if it was complete.
