emkay Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 it's broken under Vista... also importing a bitmap and saving as a g2f file results in a blank g2f being created. The same happens for me. Vi$ta does not seem to be a very friendly system for G2F users, does it? It's not really a problem of Vista. I use it for almost 3 years now. Last year's updates on G2F brought heavy bugs, which seem to occur on the latest MS Osses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebe Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) check loaded file attributes, set only archived if set read only - G2F hang on with message 'division by zero' Edited October 11, 2009 by tebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borland Database Engine (BDE) + XP no problem, with Vista is only problems (privilages) you should rewrite whole application in .net ... It may be possible to use new delphi or the another delphibased IDE(as I remember few programmers run away from borland and they released free delphi alternative) to compile whole project as .net application. ... but I would suggest to use C# and rewrite it all from scratch :-P (just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebe Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 i try compiled G2F with Delphi 2009 NET - 1.6GB, all variables type String not compatybility with NET String (i fix all operations with String), result - output file 10MB and working crazy, application crash randomly, load/save file not working, some graphics operation shifted (problem with arithmetic?), finally uninstall Delphi 2009 NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gury Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) I have used Borland Delphi 7 for all my projects for several years. Powerful, flexible RAD language, with very little memory overhead and wiyh minimum binary file size. But now I am on the move for Lazarus, the IDE for Free Pascal. Very good and portable. I like C#, but I will use it only on work if my bosses say so. RAD Studio 2007, 2009 and upcoming 2010 are really good, but I would ignore .NET development.

matosimi Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hi, I found one bug: When you change DL line type - 2nd number column (values 0,1,2,4)... value 0 means DL value $70. This line is black in g2f editor, but it has background color on atari. So it can surprise you when use PRIOR 4 and your background color is not black, because u use another color to make background. (I tried to save some space so I changed few charlines to 0 and this bug came up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I'm the only person affected though, but I tend to get problems with window sizes and text which has run through all of the versions. Is there something that I can manually change to fix the problems in the attached graphic? I am using XP in Classic mode, SP3 I think.

You have some strange font set or bigger size of it, it's not standard font on your screenshots, but I have to agree it should not be problem for the application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick reboot and all was sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I find it amusing that the jpeg (highly compressed!) version of the file is 111kb and the Atari version is 6/7 kb. So much for progress! Great picture by the way, I wish I had as much artistic talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
