As I indicated above, you can actually make OCI connections using OCILib. It is pretty easy to use for basic access and seems to have a lot of power for more advanced functionality... Are you looking for an alternative to OCILib?

Apparently, according to the zlib manual if you actually want to use gzip instead of deflate, you should call deflateInit2 with a specific value in the windowBits parameter


#windowBits 15
#GZIP_ENCODING 16
#Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION -1
#Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY 0
#Z_DEFLATED 8
deflateInit2 (strm, #Z ...

I tipically use Apache. The XAMPP package is good for development and testing.

For the project I mentioned, I actually used zlibstat.lib importing the required functions:


Import "ZlibStat.lib"
gzclose(a.l) As "_gzclose@4"
gzopen(a.l,b.l) As "_gzopen@8"
gzread(a.l,b.l,c.l) As "_gzread@12 ...

That's weird. Note that I have a site where I pre-compress the static css and js files in order to reduce the load of the server. To do that, I simply gzip those files and modify the .htaccess to redirect the requests to the css and js files to their css.gz and js.gz counterparts. I can suggest you ...

In one of my projects, I had to do the reverse, that is, to uncompress an gzipped http content. The easiest way I found was to create a temporary file, use the gzread function and delete the temporary file. I imagine that in order to compress the stream you could use the same technique, but using ...

I have searched through the forum looking for ways to access Oracle without having a preconfigured ODBC DSN or having to create it on the fly and the alternatives I found are ADO and OCI. OCI seems more efficient and OCILib seems to be the way to go.

Apparently, there seems to be some kind of OCI ...

Thank you, Fred. I have managed to connect to the debugger window, but the program stays open waiting for input from stdin, disregarding the way it was actually called (using a pipe).

How can I run the debugger when a program takes its input from a pipe (ReadConsoleData) connected to another program or when a program sends its output to a pipe (WriteConsoleData) also connected to another program?

The resizing works perfectly, now that I know where to click

Although the thread is a little bit old now, I just downloaded the demo an I have a couple of comments:
- I do not see the nice textured background posted in one of the first posts. I see the board with solid colors.
- I am not able to resize the board

I do not know when this stopped working, but I am using PB 4.51 and the hand cursor is not shown on the ImageGadget. Is there any problem with DrawImage (handcursor,0,0) related to a change in the 2D libraries used by PB?

This is a great library!

I just found a little thing: it seems that PurePOP3_HeaderFindNext() removes any preceding blank spaces. I am not sure it is a desired behaviour, since sometimes the header is folded in more than one line and, in order to indicate that, the first char of the line is either ...

Thanks, srod. Here's a snippet of what I came out with:
colErrors=obj\CreateEnumeration("errorList()")
If colErrors
*varError=colErrors\GetnextVariant()
While *varError
Debug PeekS(*varError\bstrVal, -1, #PB_Unicode)
VariantClear_(*varError)
FreeMemory(*varError)
*varError = colErrors ...

I am having problems with collections of strings. The call to CreateEnumeration works fine, but the first call to GetNextObject seems to fail, since they are actually strings. I can call GetNextVariant OK, but then I do not know what to do with the resulting variant...

Any help?
