In the initialization section of your Remote Data Module change the Create method call from TComponentFactory.Create(...) to TThreadedClassFactory.Create(...).

UpdateSQL Provider component (Created 10/30/97, Size 8,358 bytes)

Dynamically loaded package demo (Created 10/29/97, Size 13,217 bytes)
This application and associated package demonstrates how you can use the packages feature in Delphi 3 to partition your applications. The example illustrates loading a package and instantiating a form class from the package. Additionally, it provides tips on successfully unloading packages.

Multi-threaded server application using TServerSocket (Created 10/24/97, Size 3,607 bytes)
This is a demo application intended to illustrate how to use the TServerClientThread class in a multi-threaded server application. This demo requires the TServerSocket component.

This is an example of a very simple "file server". To request a file simply send the complete path/filename to the server (ex. c:\autoexec.bat) for a file located on the server machine. The server will return the entire file to the client within a thread. This server can accept multiple simultaneous connections each running in a different thread (as long as the thread cache size is > the number of concurrent connections).

You can test this server using the Delphi Client/Server Chat Demo(Size 3,063 bytes) that comes with Delphi (or is available via the Borland web site).

Simply start the Chat client and connect to the server machine (using < DD > it's DNS name). Once connected you can type the name of a file that exists on the server machine (press Enter to send the request) and it will be sent to the client and appear in the Chat window.

For example once you have connected type: c:\autoexec.bat < enter > Delphi Client/Server Chat Demo (Created 9/25/97, Size 3,063 bytes)
This demo illustrates a simple chat program using the Client and Server socket components. With this demo you can send text between two computers. This program must be running on both computers at the same time for a connection to be made. Once connected you can exchange text by typing into the memo and pressing the Enter key which will send the last line of text in the memo to the other machine.

ISAPI/NSAPI Units (Created 3/19/97, Size 33,498 bytes)

  • Missing Files for full support of ISAPI & NSAPI DLL programming
  • Already included in D3 C/S Suite.
  • Place in the \Source\RTL\Win directory

Translating Delphi 3.0 VCL messages Units (Created 6/25/97, Size 6,712 bytes)

  • Copy consts.pas
  • Transalte the SMsgDlg... strings
  • Put consts.pas in the project search path
