I have just completed converting the three most important files for GUI
extensions, guidemo.c, pvguiext.h and guidemo.rh to Object Pascal (Delphi).
I would like to distribute this, but I'm not sure what goes into the
package. I've sent a preliminary version to Remco de Korte and Christopher
Fairbairn, which included:
GuiDemo.dpr (the guidemo.c conversion)
PVGuiExt.pas (the pvguiext.h conversion)
guidemor.inc (the guidemo.rh conversion)
guidemo.res
povext.txt
guidemo.pge (the compiled extension)
Now I'm not sure if this already complies with the rules of distribution.
Can anyone give me a hint, which files should I include too? (I don't want
to include the entire POV sources, if possible).

As far as I can see, it will work with any Delphi32 version. There's nothing
special in it. I didn't try yet, though. I'll have a look into it this
evening.
In the demo .c file, there are several things, the user must do to make the
.dll work. I've heard this must not be done automatically, but every
programmer using it must make the changes by hand. This way he shows, that
he agrees with the license restrictions in povext.txt.
So I'll have to change this back to the original state, because I wanted to
make a working demo, which is not allowed in the demo source code
distribution (as I understand it).
As soon as this is done, and I have included povlegal.doc, I'll make it
public. I think it would best be put on some webpage, so

now I'm looking for someone who will put it on his webpage. I myself will do
the "maintenance" of the conversion
****************************************************************************

(if necessary at all, it is rather simple and it is an almost 1 to 1
translation). I'll also have to include a disclaimer, etc. (I hate this
semi-legal stuff, really).
****************************************************************************

Perhaps someone could give me a kind of sample, fill-in-the-blanks,
disclaimer text, as I'm not very experienced in this myself.

BTW Why don't you buy D4 Standard at least? It's cheap enough and can do
almost anything necessary for writing utilities like you do. It doesn't have
the VCL sources and misses some interesting big stuff components, but I
myself never used them anyway. For most things, the D3 sources will do (if
you have Professional or above).

Right now I have client server, adn since I don't do any professional
developing (anymore) I don't see a reason to spend the little money I
have left. A student can't very well afford it.
