I've been playing a bit with ICS (one of the two internet component suites for Delphi), and I got some demoes to work, but I don't know why the others don't.
People that are bored, or are win32 debugging cracks (I'm _NOT_), check it out:-)
(specially the the SMTP example, it is very simple, but doesn't work, so it maybe easy to isolate the problem)
You'll need:
- A recent 1.1 compiler,
- http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/twfpc.zip the ICS stuff
- http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/winsock.pp (rtl/win32/winsock with some minor patches yet uncommited)
- A messages.pas I used the Delphi 5 one of my employer to test.
I hope to fix the last two dependancies soon :-)
P.s. to the FPC developpers: the core maillist seems to have stopped working! I haven't gotten messages since nearly a day now(including the ones i sent).
