Kylix 2 is available as a download fromwww.borland.com, butbecause I only have access to low-rent telephone modems and amortal life-span, I used the version I found on a DVD that camewith an English magazine. Since then I think I've seen Kylix 2 onanother English CD, and someone at Borland said it was available inthe SuSE distribution.
The registering part of the installation and set-up processcould be more fun. The magazine I got the Kylix DVD from sent me towww.borland.com/delphi/personal/del6personal_keyonly_steps.htmlin order to register my version of Kylix 2. I assume the downloadsand other installation methods provide comparable guidance. Myrecollection is that it was not difficult to get serial numbers andauthorization keys from Borland, but the installation wants you toregister completely. The simple answer to this isno. So far I have been able toavoid completely registering Kylix (or Linux Jbuilder 6 PersonalEdition for that matter), but it still works. Here's what Idid:
PATCHED Borland Delphi 6
Since this initial deferment, Kylix has started successfullynumerous times. I suspect, however, that on some kind ofphase-of-moon basis or with every 27th reboot, it will once againask you to register, whereupon you should go back to step 3. Shouldthat not work, exit, delete /.borland/registry.bin and go back tostep 2.
The tilda () is UNIXese, of course, for your home directory.I eventually found a note in which Borland advised deleting theentire /.borland directory, which erases your environmentsettings, including my precious IDE Classic WordStar keys. And notealso the uninstall script does not uninstall/.borland. All of this is relevant because once I started toregister, Kylix's installation seemed like it wouldn't give up,sort of a pit bull effect, until I offed the registry.bin file ordirectory.
The pgeSQLBrowser is the union of SQLBrowser and the pgExpress Driver. It is meant as a demonstration of the pgExpress driver. We have patched the orignal SQLBrowser (which comes also on the Borland Companion Tools for Kylix and Delphi 6) and embedded the 1} pgExpress Driver inside it.
