Delphi 8 and all the net hub bub, can you still compile Win32/PE programs?2004-01-07 09:36:43 AM delphi142 Hi Gang, I could honestly give a rat's ass about using Delphi for .NET. I would use VB.NET for that. The only reason I use Delphi is to write programs when necessary that are small and fast. Writing a .NET application isn't exactly going to create a thin mean application. If I want to write bloatware I'll use my favorite development tool: Visual Basic. Does anyone know if Delphi 8 is going to still support the compilation of good old Win32/PE standalone .exes? Cheers, Christian Blackburn |

Hi Yorai,
I read in another group that there is supposed to be a separate Win32/pe platform vs. NET version of Delphi 8 coming out as well. Is that true or a figment of somebody's imagination?

David I told me directly at the conference that there would be a
win32 version of 8 coming out, and that is gospel enough for me :c) "Christian Blackburn" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM@Hotmail.com>writes news:3ffba54c$XXXX@XXXXX.COM... QuoteHi Yorai, |

Hi Guys,
I'm glad to hear that, because as I have already stated I don't think dotNET matches Delphi's main user base. Furthermore, dotNET is a Microsoft creation and most of Delphi's users have proven just by using Delphi that they're not entirely satisfied with their offerings. However, I will say this even I like the improved debugging in .NET it makes things so much easier to know what line of code my programs died on. I am speaking from experience with VB.NET 2002/2003 though. Since this is probably an inherent feature of .NET Borland will undoubtedly support this if they don't have their heads up their asses. Anybody ever used PowerBasic? I thought Delphi was small and fast until I saw that. However, obviously it is much more rudimentary, there's always a price to pay for speed :).

Hi
PowerBASIC used to be the fastest program under DOS, i.e. faster than QuickBASIC , Pascal, C++ Compiled to very small code (quite some options for optimization), extremely fast. Did have some isues using non SVGA graphics. I have been thinking a lot about buying it for windows, but still not sure. Too bad there's no Demo for download. Regards, Patrick P.S. By the way, dotNET is a Borland creation!!!!! |

Hi Patrick,
Are you on .Pot, Microsoft came up with .NET, unless you can prove otherwise! Cheers, Christian "Patrick Veenstra" <XXXX@XXXXX.COM>writes QuoteHi |

Hi Cristian,
There have been various articles on the internet, (not sure where right now, if you're interested I can check it out), that confirm that .Net has been created by Borland. Regards, Patrick |

Hi Patrick,
Borland didn't create .NET, do some research. Just because a program supports a technology doesn't mean they made it. It was a Microsoft Technology from day one. Since 2002 who has released two development products for .NET? Microsoft. During that time has Borland released a single non-beta .NET capable program? No, of course not. Almost no one else has either and that is because Microsoft had years of a head-start they started developing .NET and it is tools in 1998!
