Older Version of Delphi2004-06-26 09:55:06 AM delphi72 Hi everyone, Here's another newbie question: Is it possible (and legal) to get an older version of Delhpi, like vs. 3 or 4, as freeware, shareware, or anything other than a timed trial? It would be helpful if I could just use one of the older versions, to learn how to code in Delphi, even if it is one of those deals where they let you use their complier, but you can not create stand-alone executables on it. I just want to learn the language, but I don't want to spend--I think it's something like $99 for the personal edition, unless I am wrong about that. If I could just make use of the compiler, learn the language and how to program in it, then I would be happy to spend the money to buy it. But at this point, I am considering Microsoft VB.net and Visual C++.net. I have an older version of VB(Visual Basic) that I downloaded off the Microsoft page--5.0, and of course, there are a lot of freeware C++ compiler's around, like Borland's, but there doesn't seem to be any similar deal with Delphi. Anyone know why not? Or does anyone have a solution for my problem. If not, then I guess I will just go with Microsoft VB(Visual Basic) or Visual C++.net. Thanks, Anthony |
