Is it true that ISAPI,NSAPI and CGI support is missing from D3
professional, despite being listed on box and features list ??

If so, is this a mistake or a bait and switch ?

I know you can still write an ISAPI dll without these features, but
the new TTableProvider etc. makes it easy.

I am getting C/S for work but was looking at getting the PRO version
for personal use.

Hope someone in marketing is reading this or is being told about it.

Care to respond Steve T, Borland ??

In C/S (and Prof?) there's also a web server application template which
will help you get started doing db CGIs...

I was confused by the very same thing.  Nowhere in the documentation or in
any of the beta releases did Borland mention that some of the internet
stuff and multi-tier stuff would only be included w/ C/S and higher.  I had
to upgrade from Professional to C/S to get everything I needed.  It was
very confusing the way Borland presented the capabilities without
specifying which version contained which features.  It will be necessary
for you to upgrade to C/S for the features you need.

The Professional version of Delphi 3 was supposed to contain the units
(but not the Wizards and components) necessary for creating ISAPI and
NSAPI extensions, but were inadvertantly left out.  These units will be
placed on our website (www.borland.com) for download shortly.

Nope, i have the D3 Pro version, and they are not in the
source\rtl\win directory.  in fact, i did a search for isapi*.*
and nsapi*.* on my harddrive starting at the root, and the only
file that came up was the Delphi 2.0 file isapi.pas!

All the promotional literature I've seen implies that there is no
difference in isapi/nsapi/cgi support between the professional and c/s
versions.  Now I learn that not only is this not true but Borland has
"inadvertently" left  out the units in D3Pro that would simplify this
type of development!  These are exactly the features that might just
enable me to convince management here to loosen the VB {*word*241}-hold on
c/s development and upgrade our few copies of D2.01 to D3.  It's going
to prove very difficult for me to persuade management to upgrade with
these features missing or crippled (we're a state institution with a
limited budget and there is no chance of upgrading to the c/s version).

 Ray,

It was a simple oversight.  As David indicated, we will be placing the
appropriate files on the web-site for download.  The units are not
crippled in any way.  However, we provide additional time saving tools
for building this type of application in Delphi Client/Server.

I hope that whichever SKU of Delphi that you use, that it will be
beneficial in moving Visual Basic out of your organization.

Mike,
Thanks for your response.  I also got email from Steve T. about the
oversight.  This seems like a pretty big snafu to me and I also still
think the promotional literature I've seen is somewhat misleading (even
back to the D3 lecture from the BDC posted on your web site).  It would
help if Borland reps clearly differentiated between the feature set of
the various versions when ever they speak in any situation where
confusion might arise.

Having said that, I certainly intend to purchase my personal copy of
D3Pro and will continue to work on persuading management to permit a
wider use of Delphi in application development.  If I can get
permission, I intend to rewrite a major c/s decision support tool I
wrote in Delphi once we have D3 (I have to wait for D3 since
reading/writing  MS Access databases as well as ODBC to Sybase are
absolutely essential).  In the meantime, I intend to purchase my
personal copy of D3Pro as soon as our academic reseller here on campus
can get a copy (unfortunately they tell me it may be several months
since they have never heard of the Delphi 3 release!).  Maybe I'll
contact Borland today and see if I can buy at the academic discount
direct from you guys?

So if ISAPI/NSAPI *full* support is missing, the box is going back.

It looks like general ISAPI/NSAPI support is part of Standard and Pro.
"Complete access to the Win32 API, ActiveX, Multi-threading, OLE, COM,
DCOM, MAPI, ISAPI, NSAPI"--That'd better not mean "If you're really
deperate and good and have the time, you can roll your own" :)

Can anyone who has Delphi 3 confirm that ISAPI/NSAPI DLL support comes with
Pro? (ISAPI wizard as well?)

  This had better be a mistake, because the letter from Borland
  offering me
  the upgrade clearly states (among the features of Delphi 3
  Professional):
  "Full support for industry standards, including Windows 95, Windows
  NT, the
  Win32 API, multi-threading, ISAPI, NSAPI, COM, DCOM, and more."

  So if ISAPI/NSAPI *full* support is missing, the box is going back.
  Collect.

 Ron,

There was a mistake in which files we included with the Pro version.  We
inadvertantly forgot to include the units that declared the ISAPI and
NSAPI layers. ?We are putting those on our web site for download.

So with this quick download, you will have the support for ISAPI?and
NSAPI that we advertised.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
