New FF2 Transports

[Rodrigo Gómez]

Hi Paul.

I'm very interested in the speed gains, as I guess a lot of people will
be.

The only "problem": is it factible to have a C++Builder version? 99.9%
of my programs are developed in C++Builder, and changing them to Delphi is
not really an option <bg>. (unless of course the speed gains were more than
7x... :-) )

Thanks, and regards

Rodrigo Gómez

If I may be of some use, please let me know. I have C++Builder 4 &
C++Builder 5. I'm planning to buy C++Builder 6, in the next months. I'm
no-way a FF guru, but I can certanly compile and try to hack things to be
compilable under C++builder (already did that another several times, by
neccesity)

And I was joking about speed. It is great, but not really a reason I can
port my stuff to Delphi.

That's why I want your new transports to be usable under C++Builder. Of
course I'm also interested in the security advantages of your work, but it
is easy to overlook that having a 15.3:3.59, 28.9:8.9 differences... :-)

By the way, I assume that you'r work is going to be in the FF3 stuff (just
look at the screenshots!) <vbg>. Of course you can't talk about that. :-)

oops, missed that one - thanks for the warning - fixed

Sorry, I don't have C++B.

Besides speed, there is also security. The TCP transport can use

Rodrigo and Paul,

I too am a C++ Builder user and have C++ Builder 6. If I can help, I will
be pleased to do so.
