Sorry ! but I don't think this dll works on Win95. I had the same problem
myself.

But it works pretty good on Win98 and Win2000 (some bugs there two). I did not received a good answer for my questions regarding the "buggs" so
i don't use it anymore. I thing Tommy (on this site) have some dll for this
but I'm not sure......

1) I' have test the dll on Win98 and it' s all ok. I' have test on Win2000 and all ok.

2) I' have bought.

3) I' have test on WinNT and I' have the first problem (this is demo dll).

4) I' have write to Mr. Garret. Mr. Garret send me a new dll.

5) I' have test it on Win95 and Error appeared.

6) I' have write to Mr. Garret , and he replied that the programmer was occupied. 4 week after Mr. Garret explied that was impossible give me assitance and bye bye.... Mad

This is the last mail (the address mail in no longer valid):

Cipper,

My apologies, but it seems the programmer has not checked this for
us, and to make the problem even harder, I am now out of business.

I have run out of money and can not continue to run what little
business I had here. My server will soon be cut off, web sites will
all be gone and my email will not work. Soon after that, the
telephone lines will be disconnected and things get worse from there
for me, but the rest is not of concern for you.

Basically, I will have no way to get that dll fixed for you now.

sorry for garret.

but in this way, why didn't he give you the source code of the dll Question

Sure it will be fixed, I created the dll for Garrett a few years ago. I'm not sure why its crashing on Windows 95, it most likely is due to some api call not supported by Win95 and I'll need to track it down. I'll email GT for the source so I can try to update it for him.

I think Garrett sent me the source code to the DLL some time ago. I'll see
if I still have it. If I do I'll try to fix it. If I would be able to fix it I would
provide it to any registered users of the DLL who would be able to show
me the Reg.Net sale receipt.

Please note that this may take some time as I'm currently busy with my
final exams.

Garrett sent me the most recent source code of this DLL. It's using an external component which doesn't seem to function very well with all Delphi versions. That's why I'm going to try to rewrite the DLL so that it doesn't depend on the component. It's for sure though that the syntax wouldn't stay exactly the same.

For this I would like to know which features are most important for you so that I could implement those features first, as it seems to be going to take a great deal of time to finish the whole DLL. That way while still developing I could do an early release with the features which are most important for you.
