Why should a third party explain?

To provide an independent viewpoint.

There remain 'problems' with www.Tekrider.net, viz:-

Sucuri have indeed altered their assessment of Tekrider.net (now no

To my mind, something *IS* amiss with BTS's web site ....

*OR* he's simply playing games.

Which is it, folks?

There is lots of older, great and even essential software, that will
not run under anything very much after XP. Certainly not in 7, 8 or
10. I keep a virtual machine running XP for these apps.

Thanks, SteveGG :-)

I'm wondering how long it takes from submitting a 'bad guy' report to
the FBI before 'bts' gets the 'knock at his door'!

What software is that?

What software is that?

I have lots of programs developed in Quick Basic 4.5 and Visual Basic
3; lots of critical stuff I use often ...

e.g.(s) - converting numbers between different bases, calculating
times between dates, regression curve fittings ( linear, polynomial,
exponential and power models ), censored data analysis, Gauss-Jordan
elimination calculations, stereo imaging software, John Conway's game
of life, mortgage calculations, thermal endurance life testing
analysis, thermal degradation data analysis ( both conventional and
FTFM methods ), wire insulation thermal data analysis ( 3 models )

- to name a few that come to mind.

None will run in Windows 7, 8 or 10 !

So glad I have an XP virtual machine !

16-bit software? If you are running a 64-bit Windows, 16-bit
software will not run.

So glad I have an XP virtual machine !

I use DOSBox myself for some 16-bit utilities that I wrote in
QBasic.

Sincerely,

Oh wow.. windows 3x VB.. Your quick basic apps can be run for the
most part using DOSBox under windows 7 or later. As for VB3, it
creates 16bit NE executables...afaik, those aren't supported on
windows 7 or better.

BD has diverted this into a STALKING thread a while ago.

And showed not only his ass in the process, but, his intentions as a
stalker as well. One really couldn't ask for a better example from
the individual himself to confirm what's been written about him by
BTS, You, Myself, Sycho, Froz, and various other individuals who've
had the misfortune of interacting with him. He's a drunkard stalker
who can't really pretend to be innocent these days. :-) And, his own
posts CONFIRM what we've ALL written about him.

windows7 newsgroup replaced with rec.photo.digital so that they too
may see him for the pondscum pile of **** he has. I *highly*
recommend any posts of his which contradict his own statements be
sent to that newsgroup as well. He's trying to con them by 'playing
nice' and I wouldn't want to see anyone else suckered into his ploy
only to be stalked by him shortly there after.

Oh, and, it gives me great satisfaction to see him sink himself and
confirm what I wrote about him in that newsgroup, all, without having
to touch the 'dangerous zip file'. H0h0h0

OT up.
Start another thread. I'm interested in XP freeware.

I certainly don't "like" older software, BUT just want to be able to
run what I need.

I've also developed 7 great apps in Visual Basic 6, that run just fine
in any Windows version. i.e. - Mandelbrot exploration, Julia plots,
Chaos Engine, Mortgage computations, Conway's Game of Life, Worm
Simulation and Logistic Equation.

The problem may be that you have thousands of hours developing old
apps that still do all you want. That is why so many businesses still
run XP, particularly Point Of Sale and other things where the "job"
does not change.

We have a product that was done with VB6. It's another division so I'm
not sure of the details but I do know there is a dll that they
distribute with the executable. The dll still exists in Windows but a
function changed, breaking compatibility.

That's because vb6 creates PE executables (32bit) vs vb3's NE
executables (16bit)

If you're writing about the vbrunxxx.dll file, The dll is the
runtime, itself. VB doesn't create truely independent compiled
programs by default. You can opt to include the runtime it requires
but your exe file will grow by several megabytes. And it still may
not be an independent exe able to run on another machine without
'installation'; that depends on how many 3rd party tools/libraries
you used to make up for what VB is lacking. And, if you were able to
include all of them into the .exe at compile time. Which makes your
..exe that much larger as a result.

VB is a great example of the opposite of tight/fast/efficient code
output.
