At ancient times (1997), in the Delphi-L and the Delphi-Talk mailing lists, we had a discussion about placing a logo in our applications to inform users about the great RAD Tool DELPHI with which we created our applications (find additional information about the campaign at my "Delphi News"-Page).
Since then, we've found and built some nice "prototype" logo images for this purpose (see above), choose the one you like most for placing it in your application as Bitmap. Currently, a total of 36 cool variations is available, also "Powered by JBuilder" and 2 "Powered by C++Builder" variations as well as some great splash screen variations:

Borland officially supports the "Powered By Delphi" Campaign, so feel free to use the logos and buttons without headache about copyright questions etc. Finally, no one of the creators of these images claims a copyright for them (even not for the Delphi splash screens, according to Anders O. from Borland.com). So their implementation in About-boxes etc. should be a matter of course for each "real" Delphi-Fan (IMHO)...!

If you have created other buttons or optimized one of the above and would like to donate your creation(s) to the Delphi community by offering it for download here, please send them to me (it would be appreciated if they have sort of a "Delphi-look" to ensure their recognizability)!
New: now also contains some variations of the official Delphi splashscreens as well as the official "Powered By Delphi" variations by Borland (find more about Borland's official support page for the campaign by clicking here, and you can find a number of official Borland logos for other purposes here.

Developers are always looking for high-quality button images ("glyphs") and other graphics. During the times I've collected 9.452 of them from various freeware collections etc., and am offering them to the public domain now.
Note: to save download size, the files are strongly compressed in the Cabinet (.CAB) format, you need an appropriate tool which is capable to extract such archives like Windows Commander or WinZip.
Warning: the collection might easily fill up your disk, especially if it is formatted without FAT32 or the Windows NT file system. You should reserve at least 20 MB free space before starting extraction.

(if your browser makes problems downloading, right-click the link with your mouse and choose "Save link as.."!) or try it again at faster Internet times (at late night, for example) by using download tools like NetVampire or Gozilla which will enable you to continue the download from exactly the position where you lost the connection - the file itself is NOT corrupted, I've checked it several times.)

If you want to know more about what emoticons, acronyms and Smileys like ";-)" or "<RTFM>" are, you should download my collection (about 800 !) of these items.

In 1999, 3 US students started a big survey about Shareware - its image on the software market, marketing issues, registration incentives, pricing questions and other things which are often discussed controversially amongst developers.
After reading the results of this survey, many questions should be answered and you will learn about important things you should know if you are offering programs as "Shareware".

Please note that the file is quite large (requires 33 MB on your harddisk) and can just be opened by Write or Wordpad (yes, we converted it to RTF in case you don't have Micro$oft Word 97/2000 installed on your machine).

If you are interested in Shareware publishing, be sure to check out the "Publishing your software" section of our DELPHI-BOX!

The enclosed textfile describes a detailled procedure to compress Win9x/ME registry files regardless of their size, or the size of the key values within the registry.
Save space on your harddisk, you'll need it for other huge-sized Micro$oft Applications... ;)

On some Windows NT systems it might happen that you see the message "Cannot find NETWORK.DRV" pops up instead of loading your screensaver. I had this problem a few months ago when I had one of my screensavers running (my first thought was "oh no - a bug in one of my programs!) - but no: much detective work resulted in my discovery that this weird behaviour is caused by an incorrect setting in the Windows registry - and please don't ask me what's been causing it, I simply don't know... =:-) However, since I find this question showing up in common Windows support newsgroups quite frequently, I decided to publish my solution, hoping that it might be of help for some of you out there.

During the times, I have collected a large list of antivirus and anti-spam rules for the IMAP server. If you have this server installed, you could use this ruleset as a basis for your own! Of course you could also use it to set up a list of rules for your email program, other mailservers like Procmail etc. Please be warned, though: No support, no warranties. I can not guarantee that this rule set works on your computer as intended, "as is", it might delete important mails or allow passing unsolicited mails, so it would definitely be important that you check it carefully before activating it on your server. Also, don't forget to read the readme file that's included in the ZIP file below.
