Readme RekenTest source code

The software is completely freeware and open source (MPL 2.0).
In the past a purchased licensed was required for the client/server version, but this is no longer needed.

RekenTest sourcecode is available at SourceForge: http://rekentest.sourceforge.net
To get more information about the software, visit the RekenTest website: http://www.4x4software.nl
Documentation can be found in the subfolder Help, a full PDF is also available: Help\pdf\RekenTest.pdf. Documentation is also available online: http://www.4x4software.nl/rt/help


How to build in Delphi

The software is developed in Delphi 7 Professional. 
Besides Delphi 7, the code is verified to compile in Delphi 2006, Delphi 2010, Delphi XE2, Delphi XE6 and Delphi 10.2 Tokyo.
Embarcadero Delphi is a commercial product and requires a purchased license.

However, you can get a free download of Delphi 7 on WinWorld, because this version is now very old.
Get Delphi 7 at this URL: https://winworldpc.com/download/96a786bd-ccb6-11e7-a73f-fa163e9022f0 

You may need some tweaks getting it to run on Windows 10, google for assistance to find sites like http://weblog.hansotten.com/delphi-7-and-windows-7/ to help you out.

Embarcadero also offers a free starter edition of Delphi Community Edition for non-commercial use (registration required).
This will get you the latest version.

How to build in Lazarus

The RekenTest code also compiles in Lazarus/Free Pascal. Lazarus is a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Rapid Application Development.
The downside of working with Lazarus is that only the "Lite" version compiles at this time. This is due to Windows related code like messages. However, the code compiles and delivers a working executable.
It should be possible to compile the code in Lazarus for Linux, but I have never tried or tested this.
Get the free Lazarus IDE and compiler at http://www.lazarus-ide.org.

The code is verified to compile in Lazarus 1.6/FPC 3.0.0.


Third party code

The software contains code developed by others and I am very grateful for that. A separate credits textfile can be found in the ThirdParty directory of the software. Also, all original readme's and licenses are saved next to the corresponding source code.
All thirdparty components/controls/classes are instantiated at runtime, they do not need to be installed as components in your Delphi IDE or Lazarus IDE.
