Hey dudes :)

i was off for a while.
if Stern needs help in coding, you can ask me.
A good friend of mine is programer in a Company and he knows delphi much better than me (in case i dont have a clue).

First Question is, why did you compile that with old Delphi 5 instead of using the new version?

Second is, isnt the 255 problem maybe becouse of the byte value that doesnt count higher?

1. It doesnt open in new-up to date Delphi.
Try it u see what happens,
Its wise to re-compile it as it is, and then olny fix errors.
This way i know it works.

2. Yes its data type limit.
 

Both buffers are set to BYTE (pointer), in HD2ServerService.pas (server) / Main.pas (client)
but changing them to WORD produced rubbish data.
More changes must be made to make it work...

i allready opend and compiled it.
in the serveral years some deklarations about Ansichar changed, its just simply chance PChar to Ansichar.
Then the Bytesreaded need to chagne from Cardinal to SIZE_T.

Yes i saw thats in byte, but that it ends with the bit size of 255 must be a small change, just need to find i think.

But can you fix this yourself ?
If it compiles then future fixes can be done with up-to-date Delphi versions.

But i was thinking if to create extended version of ServerLauncher.
It would be only server side program with additional features:
*Restart Console if it closes itself.
*Send messages to Consoles.

Also it will use separate maplist files for each Console.
Maybe this can make it more friendly for non-MS op systems.

Here is a clean version of source code of version 2.9.1 (Fixed with Borland Delphi 5.62)

(Who ever want to continue,  there is no point of starting again from original 2.9 version)
