Well, I am wrapping up the visual cosmetics ~ for a small footprint - PURE PASCAL HTML Rendering engine. It has been in the works for almost 6 years.

* Supports:
HTML 2.0 (Mainly for nice HELP screens)
HTML 3.2 (mainly for Email Readers)
HTML 4.01 (starting to get a modern feel)
HTML 5.0 ...

Encryption Kit DX

Design Notes

Algorithm Suite Overview

This comprehensive encryption suite provides implementations of the most widely-used encryption algorithms, organized by category:

Symmetric Block Ciphers

**AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)** - `EncryptionKitDX.AES`
- **Block ...

I blew the dust off RBBS-PC Basic source code ~ and converted it to a multithreaded TCP server in Pascal.

Variances to the "original code" - we kept to a minimum. I teach Pascal programming to some local friends (mainly to my best friend's (RIP :cry: ) son.)

As we all know, BASIC and PASCAL were ...

# DataSet Binary Middleware Protocol – Cross-Language API Reference

## Overview
The protocol provides real-time binary access to `TDataSet` instances over TCP. Both server and client implement predictable packet-based communication with a fixed header, command set, status codes, and structured ...
