Thank you Anduin/Borland

I thought it only fair to say a big thank you to Anduin Withers for his help
and assistance with a linker problem. I'm very impressed by the way he's
handled it and to Borland for assisting. Suffice to say that it's one problem
that has been put to bed for the time being.

What was the outcome?  What is causing it?

Re:Thank you Anduin/Borland


Russell,

The problem concerns incremental linking and the solution carries the strong
possible risk of failing to link correctly at all. I don't think that kind of
"solution" is one that should be given to everyone when "don't use incremental
linking" or "it works most of the time" are safer responses.

I hope you can understand my reasons for wishing to leave the decision of when
and to whom such solutions should be released firmly in Borland's hands <s>.

Well I'm happy that one of my last official acts as a Borland employee was
to help you. Your input along with a few others certainly indicates that we
are on the right track to resolving the issue.

Is that news I don't want to hear?  Good luck if so (good luck if not as
well) and thanks for all the help...

After more than five years at Borland I've decided to leave. I'd like to say
I'll still be reading the news groups and maybe even ask a few questions for
once but at this point using Borland tools is probably not in my near
future.

Good luck with what ever you move onto.  You've been a good help on the
newsgroups and have shown us that some of people who work at Borland do
listen and care what we think.

I know in the past I've been one of the sharper gravels in your
sandal, but you've done a world of good, here in the newsgroups, and
in helping develope the VCL. Thanks for all you've done, and good luck
in your new reincarnation.

(And I didn't even {*word*88}, complementing you on the VCL!) ;-)

Cheers

Ah but I didn't do the VCL. I do like the VCL but I was in no way
responsible for its development. (I actually dislike working with Object
Pascal).

Re:Thank you Anduin/Borland


The VCL is magnificent. If only the documentation were so it would be 100
times more popular than MFC if the majority of C++ programmers had any
brains ( or guts ) and the corporate world were not a bunch of sheep. Alas
the documentation is still only medicre at best. But the VCL itself is very
good and all who did work on it should be congratulated.
