HELP: Delphi Informant Magazine, April 2002

Could anybody help with obtaining the PDF of the good old “Delphi Informant Magazine” April 2002, Volume 8 Number 4 issue?

Lost all hope searching... 😞

Thanks beforehand.

I'm a packrat who holds on to those sorts of things. Will contact you via direct message.

OK I'm intrigued now. Most of the content in that edition seems pretty outdated 20 years later.

• From the Palette Take Action — Bill Todd For those of you who need to give an application’s menus and toolbars the look and feel of Microsoft Office 2000, Bill Todd introduces the new Delphi 6 ActionManager and ActionBars components.
• Dynamic Delphi From XML to Object: Part II — Keith Wood Keith Wood wraps up his two-part series on the XML Data Binding Wizard by sharing sample applications that demonstrate how to read and display XML documents — and generate new ones.
• In Development Build Your Own Compiler: Part I — Fernando Vicaria Fernando Vicaria demystifies compilers using the straightforward approach of showing you how to build one with Delphi, and by keeping the jargon and formalism to a minimum. It’s the first of a four-part series.
• Sound+Vision Hierarchical Models in OpenGL — Araz Yusuf OpenGL provides a wide range of routines for modeling complex objects, but it has no built-in mechanisms for rendering hierarchical models. Araz Yusuf shows us how he gets the job done with Object Pascal.
• On the ’Net Taming the Beast from Redmond — Dave Ball Dave Ball provides a step-by-step explanation of how to deploy ISAPI DLLs within an MTS or COM+ memory-protected development environment, by configuring IIS settings within the MMC.
• Inside OP — Gary Warren King Forms and dialog boxes often have interdependent field and display properties whose friendliness can rapidly decay. Mr King shows how to keep your UI responsive — by delaying events.

I'm going to guess you're either building your own compiler or doing some sort of throwback ISAPI DLL deployment?

Wow! Thank you so much, Lachlan! I lost all hopes...

 

Oh, my reasons are less inspirational 😞 I am the author of one of the articles, and did not have the PDF in my possession. Now, thanks to you this is resolved 🙂 Thank you very much!

Wow that's great. Much cooler than I expected. So glad to have been of assistance.

 

So did OpenGL ever add "built-in mechanisms for rendering hierarchical models"?
