TWX Proxy 2.05+ Source & Build Environment
Does anyone know where I can find the SOURCE (source code) for TWX 2.05+ (whatever the most current version is)?
Piggybacking on that, what is the recommended build environment? I've seen EP's blog recommending Turbo Delphi Explorer on WinXP, but that seems a bit outdated. XE7 is stupidly overpriced, but I've also come across Lazarus IDE ( open source, delphi compatible ). The latter is what I plan to use, but I'd love to hear what others are doing (if applicable).
edit : emphasis added, formatting

Does anyone know how I could get a hold of him? I don't think he's active on these forums, and I sent an email to his comcast.net account a few weeks ago but haven't heard back.

Re: TWX Proxy 2.05+ Source & Build Environment
I think he is still active on the forums. He posted a new haggle earlier this year.

Re: TWX Proxy 2.05+ Source & Build Environment
2.04 Source Not 2.05 but should get you started/familiar while you wait for EP to respond. Given EP has exclusively supported 2.05 you may or may-not get the source for his additions regardless of GPL. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fi ... 1872171798

Re: TWX Proxy 2.05+ Source & Build Environment
Thanks for the link Kaus, I appreciate it. Not sure how much I should read into that last part. Has EP been reluctant to share the 2.05 source? I just assumed no one was interested, hence the lack of a public repo.

Not sure why I included that last part tbh.

Right on So, on a somewhat related note I've found a few TWX Proxy projects floating around. Figure I'd dump it here in case someone else comes searching. For instance, this fork over at sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/twxproxy/http://twxproxy.sourceforge.net/Their versioning is a bit weird, in that the current release is 2.11, and the website refers to the project as "TWX Proxy Pro". The page hasn't been updated since 2005, so it's safe to say it's been abandoned. Do you know anything about this project? Then there's this dude hosted over at the soon-to-be-closed google code : https://code.google.com/p/twxproxy-ep/This looks like the current 2.04 source - or at least, the source ZIP provided on the downloads page has the same checksum as the one you shared. I've honestly never used google code, so I don't know if they create that archive automatically whenever a change is pushed - but if not, then I guess the SVN source could be different from the one in the ZIP. I kind of assume one of the two contributors is EP based on his other project hosted there (TWXide), but I can't really be sure. Either way, the last commit was made back in 2008... so this project is also solidly inactive

Re: TWX Proxy 2.05+ Source & Build Environment
I recall that version 2.11 on source forge. One member that was working on it was The Wabbit , he also made a compiler/recompiller that would convert one version of .cts to another.
That was back in about 2005 and an argument started over version numbers and the group broke up.
That is all I recall of that project.
