    Obsure APIs

    Can anybody help me fill in the blanks on the following APIs? These aren't referenced in the VB API viewer (they are part of a larger list and I was able to find some of the declarations at http://www.allapi.net - I think I have removed them). Are the rest of these undocumented APIs or simply...

    Crime or Customer right?

    MasterRacker makes some very good points. The law, because it is a cultural expression of ethical standards, supercedes any individual ethical standard. To report the use of unlicensed software Call 1-800-388-7478 "Technological progress is like an ax in the hands of a pathological...

    Interesting Dilemma; Software that was formerly free

    Philo, do you have a written agreement with Jetico that allows you to continue using the current version of the software? Something other than a read-me file that states the software is (or was) free? A simple "file" would never stand up in court. If you are using software that...

    assembler programs like masm,tasm etc

    Just a question, zBuilder. If Microsoft decided to turn MASM into freeware, why can't you download it directly from Microsoft.com? Everybody be careful here. "Technological progress is like an ax in the hands of a pathological criminal" Albert Einstein

    Extracting field from a record in a text file

    That isn't so hard if you know the record structure. Here's an example that opens a file with a known structure and searches for an employee named Albert Einstein. It then reports the department he works in and his home phone number. ' $DYNAMIC DEFINT A-Z TYPE RecordStructure EmployeeNumber...

    Releasing DHCP Leases

    Sorry that I didn't clarify my situation. This is a pure Win98SE network. If I can't release the leases without DHCP Manager, then would it be possible to change the lease periods under win98? CraigL@bc-corp.com

    Releasing DHCP Leases

    Paul, I don't believe DHCP manager shipped with Win98SE. But thanks for the thought. CraigL@bc-corp.com

    can it be done

    My company uses a VB front-end to connect with an HP3000 mainframe using ODBC. Databases aren't my forte so don't ask for the nitty-gritty details. CraigL@bc-corp.com

    Mirroring HDD in WIN98

    Your new party is gaining in the popularity polls here, Zel. The major candidates are quaking in their boots... Praying you don't keep your promises of massive IT reform. <a href=mailto:CraigL@bc-corp.com>CraigL@bc-corp.com</a><br>

    NTFS Part deleted and replaced with new not formatted

    Only if you are certain of the original contents of the partition table. I have watched a tech delete a partition, reboot and recreate the partition using the original specs. The system behaved as if nothing had happened. Fdisk only deals with a handful of bytes in the disk boot sector. As long...

    how to make .exe make safe and secure

    There is a discussion of executable file compression at thread222-25600 (regarding software found at http://www.aspack.com). It might be worth a try if you are worried about somebody decompiling your applications. <a href=mailto:CraigL@bc-corp.com>CraigL@bc-corp.com</a><br>

    MS Visual Basic 4 sending email

    Using a DLL seems a little unnecessary. Why not just: Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib &quot;shell32.dll&quot; Alias &quot;ShellExecuteA&quot; (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal...

    Windows style O/S in QBASIC!!!

    Really a nice thought, Homer, but, as Karl pointed out, it is impossible to create a multi-tasking, multi-threading application using QB. Microsoft developed QB in a way that prevents it from ever being used for that purpose. You can write an application that mimics the appearance of Windows...

    how do you send a message

    If you are using Visual Basic you can use the Winsock control to send messages over the network. MSDN help contains a small example program that can be converted into a chat app in about five minutes. <a href=mailto:CraigL@bc-corp.com>CraigL@bc-corp.com</a><br>
