[Techtoolslist] Success... Fluke FIDE on a 64 Bit OS...

I would not ever judge, I was a lead developer on a VB6 Payroll Application that paid 100K daily, it was finally replaced in 2010.

I think VB6 was one of the best RAD system Microsoft ever came up with.

I think if Apple had a VB / RAD System for their System Software they would of owned the Computer  World.

I still think Apple needs to work on a easy to use RAD Development suite that doesn't require a PH.D in applied physics to use.

I think you did a very good job with FIDE, and thanks for sharing the link to the code, it will be fun to re-write it using a modern language, its actually just a file browser, an editor, and then creates and runs a batch file.

It would be nice if we could just re-write 9lc.exe to be a 64 bit application or java app that could be run on multiple platforms... I *shun* to even suggest that... I need to go watch my hands now, I said *java*
..

Huh. People still using FIDE. 

If anyone wants the (UGLY) source code, it's available here:
https://www.assembla.com/code/FIDE/subversion/nodes

(I don't follow TTL much these days... )

Good job hacking around x64 to get it to run. It's a hack to build on a hack!

I have fixed the "Compile + Send" Option, I added a WaitForExit() on the DosBox Call.
