Retrobjects somewhere?
by seki Oct. 30, 2012

Oct. 30, 2012

Hello, I found many references to the Retrobjects emulation package by Gabriel Honoré, from ESUG 2009. Unfortunately, the hosting web site for the distribution packages (http://www.zeek-it.com.ar/retrobjects/main.html) has vanished, the files are not available trough archive.org, and I did not managed to find an address to ask the author directly. Could someone give me an address to join Retrobjects author? Or does someone that had kept a copy of retrobjects-1.0.2-esug-runtime-installer.exe and retrobjects-1.0.2-esug-development.zip could send it to me? Thanks for your attention :) Sébastien KIRCHE -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Retrobjects-somewhere-tp4653128.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
