Delphi 5 to Delphi 6 conversion
Hi We are moving our product from D5 to D6. I have dealt with all the deprecated functions. However, we are getting various platform specifc warnings. These include: Symbol 'FileGetAttr' is specific to a platform Symbol 'FileSetAttr' is specific to a platform Symbol 'faReadOnly' is specific to a platform We want this conversion to be carried out correctly. We don't view the simple solution of switching off those warnings or symbols as being the correct way. What we want is the same platform independence as other functions. For example, all of our IncludeTrailingBackslash function calls were replaced with IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter calls. Is there a sensible way to sort out these 3 warnings in the same manner, so that the final executable will be platform independant? Thanks Tony Danby

D6 was the first version following the release of Kylix, so given Kylix is now a discontinued product, you *could* turn off the platform warnings with a reasonablely clear conscience (i.e., the 'platform' differences in question are those between Windows and Linux). That said, I avoid doing this myself if I can, just like you. > Symbol 'FileGetAttr' is specific to a platform > Symbol 'FileSetAttr' is specific to a platform > Symbol 'faReadOnly' is specific to a platform Check out the FileIsReadOnly and FileSetReadOnly functions in SysUtils. If you're twiddling any attribute other than faReadOnly though, temporarily turning off the resulting warning is the sensible thing to do for this particular case. The only alternative, I think, would be to make the platform specificness explicit by using the equivalent API functions and constants.

File attributes are by their nature platform dependant (UNIX attributes are very different to Windows attributes). If you jus want to check vhe readonly attribute then use FileIsReadOnly/FileSetReadOnly. If you need more control then I suggest that you create similar wrapper functions in a seperate unit and turn off platform warnings for that unit only. -- Marc Rohloff [TeamB] marc -at- marc rohloff -dot- com

These include: > > Symbol 'FileGetAttr' is specific to a platform > Symbol 'FileSetAttr' is specific to a platform Those functions are only implemented on the Windows platform. That is why they are marked with the 'platform' keyword now. If you want your code to be portable to other platforms, then you have to re-write the code to use your own platform-agnostic functions. Otherwise, just ignore the warnings if you are only targetting the Windows platform. > Symbol 'faReadOnly' is specific to a platform The only non-Windows function that uses faReadOnly is FindMatchingFile(). It uses faReadOnly on Windows and Linux. The rest of the uses of faReadOnly are specific to Windows only. > What we want is the same platform independence as other functions. Then you need to find other functions to use. The ones you are using are specific to Windows. -- Remy Lebeau (TeamB)

Delphi 6 to Delphi 2010 character codes conversion
I an converting a unit from Delphi 6 to Delphi 2010. Everything works except for a couple of character codes, the decimal values are(224 and 227).

Hi everyone, I have a problem where perhaps some one could help point me in the right direction. In Delphi 6 I used a stand alone package to train a neural netowrk,.
