I'm just bstarting to program in Pascal again after 25+ years. Used to
do some utilities and stuff when I ran Split Infinity back in the day.
Now I'm writing a Log Utility fopr BBSes and thinking abnout creating a new game as well and possibly taking on updating the Argus Mailer code base.

Need to get some copies of BinkD logs from you. My InetRex key is on

Now that I've got a bit more time, I'm preparing some sample logs.
Was about to send them, then realised they are in Unix format, which
might not play nice on a Windows system, unless your code can deal
with both Unix and Windows end of lone conventions. :) I might see if
I can put them in both formats. :)

if the tool is written in freepascal, it will likely handle the EOL
just fine... i have a project here that is written in FPC and it works fine on native OS/2 and winwhatever... i copied the code over to a
linux box and pulled the data files in and it read them just fine with
no dancing about with EOLs... the data files come in in zips and are unzipped with no special options give... especially not the one to
change EOLs...

Even when the file is from a foreign OS? (e.g. Windows text file on
Linuxx and vicew versa).
mark lewis wrote to Tony Langdon <=-
AFAIK, yes... i have no clue what OS the data files my project works
with are created on or what kind of transfers and conversions may
happen before the data is zipped... we use a script that pulls the zips from the remote server(s) and unzips it... then my project takes
existing data in locally processed text files and loads in the new data from the remote server... it hasn't cared about EOLs on any systems
i've run the project on... each one pulls the data archives from the remote server(s) and off we go to the races...
now, if one must have the same EOL, that's easy enough to do... IIRC, there's one system variable that you can ""override"" to make it use 0x0d0a for EOL on all systems... or you can go for 0x0a on all or even 0x0a0d (older mac eol) if you desire...
FPC is very flexible when it comes to plain ASCII text files using the traditional readln and writeln routines... now, if you want to use that UTF-8 mess, it is a whole other story...
FWIW: my project is a TLE processor... if anyone knows what a TLE is,
they will have an idea of what my project does ;)

Tracking satellites, are we? ;)
Yep, I do know what TLEs are, and have used them many times. :-)

Give this a shot guys: http://michalis.ii.uni.wroc.pl/~michalis/modern_pascal_introduction/mode rn_pasc

This covers FPC/Lazarus and Delphi.

absolutely! caught 15 visually tonight... that's about average around
here but if we were able to shoot^H^H^H^H^Hturn out some lights, we'd
have a darker sky and likely catch maybe 10 more ;)

my project was mainly designed to replace orbitel because of its
ancient DOS (and BASIC) limitations... especially considering that
orbitel could not create a full TLE list with all current satellites in it...

I don't know Orbitel. I've used Predict a little in recent years.
mark lewis wrote to Tony Langdon <=-
orbitel is another of dave ransom's (RIP) tools like his STSPLUS which
i still use on a few machines... orbitel takes the TLE files and
combines them and splits them out however you want but it has a problem with memory since it is written in the ancient days with the 64k
limit... with all my TLEs, orbitel only output maybe 1500 of them
whereas my project, which is limited only by system memory, outputs all 16707 active ones i have TLEs for as well as all 37899 TLEs i have available for both flying and down craft... no way that orbitel can
touch that without a lot of manual help slicing and dicing...

I should probably look for a Pascal compiler.

I find that Wordpad on Windows is able to open text
files with unix line endings (LF).
Maybe we need to get some Pascal discussion happening. :)

no need to look any further than

That's what I am using to write Wycket and I also use the Lazarus IDE.
forums are VERY helpful.

for support, i much prefer the mailing lists, though... i don't have to
go wading through the morass... no advertisments... posts are delivered
to my email where they are filtered into their own folder... i can
search them for whatever i need at any time without having to be
online... the mailing lists are also available as news from gmane if
one wants them in that format...

Thanks Robert. A few people have suggested that. I'll see whether I can find a book for it.
-Andy Ball.
f you can find a book on Delphi and Borland or Turbo Pascal, you are
pretty much most of the way there.
There are bound to be some differences though,
not least when it comes to external libraries.
