Sorry about the little break there folks. . . I have been involved in a few
odds-and-ends projects that have sapped some of my time but I am over that now.
Add to that the incredible inconvenience of having to reformat my hard drive to
get Internet Explorer 4 off my machine and you can see I have been quite busy.
For all of you who wrote and politely lamented over the lack of an issue of UNDU
since June, this issue will no doubt come as a welcome relief. Let me re-assure
you all that I have absolutely no plans of halting the publication of UNDU. On
the contrary, there are a number of things in the works to enhance it
significantly. . .
First of all, the UNDU web site will be undergoing a significant face lift
shortly. I will be modifying the format quite a bit and adding some search
capabilities. In addition, there is a Delphi Web-Ring that was formed a short
while back that I will be adding to the UNDU site in the next week or two. If
you want more information on the Delphi web ring, please visit the site http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/delphi.htm
or contact Chuck Gadd at cgadd@cyber-fx.com.
Finally just a small note about email correspondence. I receive many emails from
UNDU readers all over the globe, and I really enjoy getting peoples comments and
input on UNDU as well as questions or tips they have on Delphi programming.
However, because of the volume of mail involved, I cannot always respond to all
emails I get. I know this is tremendously rude, so please forgive me in advance
if I dont respond to your inquiry. I generally do get to all my email, but
sometimes I just get swamped and cannot provide a personal response to each. If
I have an answer for your email, I will reply, but if I dont have an answer, I
sometimes wont.
The randomly selected winner of the UNDU prize this month is Brad Stowers for
his article on A Win95 Browse Directory Component. His prize is a copy of Ray
Lischners new book Hidden Paths of Delphi 3. For more on this book, check out
the review in this issue!
I received a number of updates to the Delphi Users Group section of UNDU.
Unfortunately, I lost a large chunk of email a short while back. What you see in
this issue is what I have. If there is information that needs to be added,
please let me know!
Last months Question from UNDU Readers asked if it is possible to format disks
without having to shell out to DOS. Eric Lawrence of Delta Programming Group
responded to me that he has put together a shareware component package called
TFORMAT which allows just this capability. If you are interested in TFORMAT,
please contact Eric at deltagrp@juno.com.
On a more personal note, if anyone needs an experienced Delphi programmer, I am
now officially available. . . My contract with Pacific Gas & Electric is
complete and I am moving on to bigger and better things!
