Hi, does anybody know if I could get a discounted or upgrade price on FiveWin++ considering I've already purchased FW and FWH.

Gerrit,

We reply you by email.

Is FW essentialy the same thing as FW++ and if not what are the differences?

Gerrit,

FW and FW++ are fully source code compatible. They work the same way. They use the same source code.

The only difference is that you use Xbase++ compiler (xpp.exe) and ALink.exe and FW is provided as a DLL (though you use a LIB to build your EXEs).

ok i understand so all of FW resources are in the Dll for Xbase++ to understand.

Gerrit,

Right

Hello again, i'm trying to compile a sample from fw++ and i'm getting a bunch of unresolved externals, on your website it says "To link your app you just need to use Five32rt.lib (instead of Five.lib, FiveC.lib, Objects.lib and WinApi.lib) how do I use the .lib file to link?

Kind regards,

Gerrit Ferwerda

Gerrit,

In the samples directory there is a build32.bat file. Just try: build32 tutor01

Then try build32 tutor02. Both samples (and most of the rest) should build without problems.

Please review build32.bat file and you will see how to build an application using Xbase++ and FW++.

Yes i've tried to use the Build32 bat file and I receive this error.

ALINK: fatal error ALK4001: cannot open file "tutor01.res"

By the way thanks for your prompt support!

Gerrit,

build32.bat uses the Borland resources compiler (brc32.exe) that you may not have. It is free, here you have it:

I already have that resource compiler here is what my bat file looks like,maybe you can find the problem from this.

Gerrit,

Please remove the rem from this line:

rem if exist %1.rc c:\borland\bcc55\bin\brc32 %1

That seemed to work...but is this FW++ for xbase++version 1.9 because I currently have 1.82 but should be getting 1.9 shortly... if so then everything should be working soon.

Gerrit,

Yes, it is for Xbase++ 1.9 RC2.

ok so apperently I only have fivewin++1.82 could you send me a email with the link to download FW++1.9 please.
