Since it also shows the MS compatible make utility it should work very well in your batch files :-)

Browse All TopicsI am working with VB6. I am using a program named Orbitron. Orbitron has an open source client written in Delphi to take satellite tracking data as generated by orbitron and display a text sequence. I would like to know if / how it is possible to set up a VB program to receive the data string. I know how to program in Vb, I' just not sure if / how to set up a VB client for orbitron. A sample program (single module) to take the data generated by Orbitron and display it would be greatly appreciated. MAX points will be given for something that works and that I can edit and expand upon in VB6. Thanks guys.

I am sorry, but I dont see how a borland command line compiler helps me to get data from a delphi application to a vb application. Also I am not using batch files. If u look at www.stoff.pl , u can download the orbitron program and install it. If u then go to http://www.stoff.pl/downlo
My appologies, those comments were intended for another question. I looked into it a bit and the Delphi front end you mention is a DDE application. I know that VB is capable of doing DDE so the good news is that it can be done. I do not have the time to look into it currently except to point out that it looks like someone has already done it. Check this out.

This link shows that you need to use ilink32 to do the linking into an executable.
