General Software Discussion / Re: Lite version of C++

« Last post by Ath on March 10, 2012, 02:03 PM »

Borland's old command line C++ compiler v5.5 is still available....and it's free.

https://downloads.em...o.com/free/c_builder

-app103 (March 10, 2012, 01:43 PM)

But that's only the compiler, no IDE, and shadowman seems to be searching for an IDE...

Maybe one of these?

• CodeLite
• MinGWstudio
• ideone
• Code::Blocks
• Pelles C

Though I must say I never used any of them All the C++ I do is with existing (inherited) projects in Borland and Microsoft IDE's.

Does any of this ignore the fact the creator of the ebook specifically did not want any hardcopy generated from it...or am I missing something here?

No, it's for making the allowed, but nearly impossible to create, backup of the original on/in another medium.

Maybe working the other way around would solve this: Capture 1 page, and have a tool () press the key or click with the mouse to advance to the next page, then capture another screen. As requested and resolved in this thread (have to read a bit down the thread to get at the interesting/explaining part though)

General Software Discussion / Re: Program Files or Program Files (x86)?

« Last post by Ath on March 08, 2012, 10:32 AM »

Quite simple:

64 bit software should go into the "Program Files" folder.
32 bit software should go into the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

This is specified by Microsoft, as enlightened in this MS community thread (and there are more, if you need them )

Searched MSDN, but as mwb1100 and 40hz said Win95/98/ME isn't available there anymore. Hadn't thought about that Java settlement, but I can't really think of a reason to install it other than in a VM anyway.

Don't read

I should have some CD's laying around somewhere, though, hope they're still readable.

You'd better put some kind of Linux on 'm, where they don't come with a serial for the OS.

Some CMS's have options or plug-ins to generate static html and present that, instead of re-building each page from the database each time it's requested. Usually for performance reasons. Doesn't yours?

How to use <!-- EXCEL2HTML - COLUMN1 --> in single file mode.

When I place that in my template, I only get 1 line as result.

-DeVamp (March 02, 2012, 06:48 AM)

Added 2 new tags for looping over the selected rows producing repeatedly the same template-section with different data. Example (xml) included.

Excel2Html v2.1.0.0

The what's new is added to the original release thread.

I'm now officially planning some kind of filtering support.

Comments, requests, remarks, etc. are all welcome

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Application memory limiter

« Last post by Ath on March 02, 2012, 01:28 AM »

Hm, I'm a bit worried you need to limit the memory use of any software. The software involved should use, and get, any available memory it needs.
How are you to decide how much memory that application should be using?

If memory usage is an issue, because it is really excessive, you'd optimally signal the makers of that software, and ask them to 'fix' the issue, not limit the application and possibly cripple or crash it.
Switching to some alternative that uses less memory is also a possible solution.

General Software Discussion / Re: filter display in outlook

« Last post by Ath on March 01, 2012, 09:13 AM »

Even outlook 2003 has filter/search features, I'd expect.

I use Outlook 2010 and the built-in Find feature is absolute crap.  If anyone knows of a good alternative I'd like to hear from them.
If you don't need to search archived pst files, then you might checkout Xobni.  It's more for contact management, but does a good job finding emails, todos, calendar, and memos too.

-kunkel321 (March 01, 2012, 08:58 AM)

Only plausible suggestion I can think of is Xobni, but it can be troublesome to get installed on an x64 Outlook install

General Software Discussion / Re: filter display in outlook

« Last post by Ath on March 01, 2012, 05:03 AM »

2 known search options in Outlook:
- Outlook (at least 2007 and 2010) does already have a 'simple' filter feature like that, reached by Ctrl-E (default keyboard mapping)
- Pressing Ctrl-Shift-F brings up the Advanced search criteria screen.

Isn't that enough?
