I'm only (half) joking.\n\nBut seriously...I do think there's a solution to your problem: you said\nthere was example code using Delphi? I agree that that's more or less on\nthe wane (to put it mildly), but there does exist a free Pascal compiler\nthat implements most of the functionality, without tying you to a specific\nvendor.  Check out http://www.freepascal.org; it may just do what you need\nit to do.\n\n\nOn Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 2:49 PM, PA3GUO <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Last December I got myself a new PC, with the ambition to upgrade all old\n> HW & SW to the latest standards.
