- - whats happening with BCB-Tools and TDx? ...
...
A lot of people seem to think that BCB-Tools and TDx are dead... not the case...
I still fully support my software, and i'm here to answer your questions nearly all year round,
with me checking my "admin@bcb-tools.com" email address most days...
I admit, I have not been working much on bcb-tools or the TDx_Library for a couple of years, just a little bit of work each day,
but this is because there is no point me spending 10000's of hours each year developing and supporting my software,
with literally thousands upon thousands of people downloading my software, paying me quite literally nothing at all for my software
- for many years at a time - and then i still have to figure out how to buy new computers and compilers, etc...
as well as keep the website running, and actually still have enough money to live and pay all the bills...
This software is "REAL", and it requires me working full-time to develop it, plus more software.
But, i am not rich, and in reality, i've spent my last 15 years on this, and now (because nobody has ever paid me)
i struggle to pay my bills and keep a roof over my head - and bcb-tools.com is very time-expensive and costly for me.
It really is stupid :- if people actually paid me for all my time, skills and effort, i would be far more
interested in continuing my programming development and i would be able to build a considerable business
creating much more software, building on what is already available, and we could expand our software development
very significantly over the future years... saving millions of dollars on our software development costs...
But commercial reality is real for me, 15 years of "seriously hard" "no-money" unpaid slave-labour is enough,
and if i cannot earn money from all my website and work, then i'll have to find other work, something that i can earn money from...
...
Other things :-
- Even though i have not been working much on BCB-Tools or TDx, i did actually complete all the modifications
to the BCB_Code_Generator, and the TDx_Library v1.90, and the entire v1.90 source code is actually fully compiling and working,
it's a major upgrade to a completely professional standard, more robust than ever before - fixing more MS bugs,
the source code is "very" changed, and the accompanying batch files, help files, etc. are completely
different to previous versions... a significant upgrade, to say the least...
The only thing togo is to finish the auto-installer, and then i can release v1.90 in it's entirety.
But, um... a complete negative-investment and nobody ever registering is a very big demotivation...
- There appears to be very little anywhere on the internet mentioning or talking about TDx...
Why is this? Is anybody seriously using this software?
How about publishing some TDx source code?
What about putting some value-adding to TDx somewhere on the internet?
- The only things related to bcb-tools or TDx on the internet is a couple of people who say both me and my software or website is garbage,
yet they really don't know what they are talking about, or they wouldn't be discussing it so publicly, ridiculing me for my
15 years of "almost impossible hard work", which i have done for NEGATIVE money, all because i believed i created something very cool
that a lot of people could build upon, but this has never happened much either.
- I have put a BIG-COMMENT from me to everyone on the Welcome Page so people can read it if they want...
...
Cheers,

Latest News - 20th April 2009:
- - v1.90 is almost finished, almost ready for release...
...
The source code generates correctly, it compiles, it works, it installs, the new installer almost works.
Now just need to write some more examples, update a few older examples, compile them all, some new examples,
package everything and i am happy to release a long-awaited version of the TDx_Library v1.90...
Latest News - 26th March 2009:
- - working on v1.90 and the BCB_Code_Generator v2.3...
...
I am still working on the v1.90 upgrade mostly, with a few changes here and there on the BCB_Code_Generator v2.3...
The v1.90 source code includes some added robustness to the DirectX code to remove annoying DirectX bugs from the system.
I've added lots of try... and catch statements around all DirectX calls, plus a few more extras.
