What About 64 Bit? - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Jul 2015
Yes, I do now have a 64-bit executable of Behold that works exactly the same as the 32-bit version. But I’m not going to release it yet. What I found out in my testing was that it was slower than the 32-bit version and used more memory. So for most people, there’s no real reason to make it available ...

Seven Years of Improvements - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 Jul 2015
I know my last two posts were not written in English for the normal person. But I felt I had to document a bit of the work involved in just upgrading a development environment. It is complex process full of pits and valleys. Getting through it needs a machete and a torch. We programmers struggle with our ...

Getting Behold Running in Delphi XE8 - Blog entry by lkessler - 6 Jul 2015
Last post, I updated my development tool and installed new versions of my three 3rd party applications. Now it was time to get Behold working again in the new Delphi XE8 environment. Theoretically, if all updates made to an environment are backwards compatible, then old code would just run unchanged in the new ...

Updating My Development Tool - Blog entry by lkessler - 3 Jul 2015
I’ve been working with Delphi as my development tool for Behold since about 1996. I’m fortunate that the language has continued to be maintained and upgraded during that time, even though it changed ownership several times. The version of Delphi that I have been using to develop Behold for the past 7 years ...

Redefining Plans - Blog entry by lkessler - 30 Jun 2015
It was really nice to get version 1.1 out. In doing so, I’ve taken into deep consideration the last line from my Living Up To Expectations post a few days ago, where I said: Maybe after 1.1 is out, I should directly track towards Version 2.0 and just do what’s necessary to make that happen. It’s ...

Behold Version 1.1 - Blog comment by lkessler - 30 Jun 2015
Klemens,
I've taken a look at the idea of putting the date before the event. But at this point, it won't work. It only became apparent to me when I checked my code and determined my data structures. You need some complex examples with dates and places and sources and notes to see the problem. I won't try ...

Behold Version 1.1 - Blog comment by lkessler - 28 Jun 2015
Thanks, Keith.
And thanks Klemens for your ideas. Yes, I do agree with you that the age on the first line may be confusing as to whose age it is. I like your suggestion that the date and age be kept first and the relationship and life event be added following that. Also this would allow the "With Wife" to ...

I have released Version 1.1 of Behold. It is now available on the Download page. The easiest way to upgrade your existing version is from the Help menu in Behold: select “Check Online for New Version”. For changes in this version, see the History page. I’ve changed my Future Plans page. I will ...

Living Up To Expectations - Blog comment by lkessler - 22 Jun 2015
Rob, Rich, Deckie,
I really appreciate the supportive words.
But really, what I want too is to get the editing capability into Behold. So it does make sense that I should not work on the lesser things, but work only on what is needed to get there.
There is lots to do, but it will happen much faster if ...
