This is non-CP/M related, PC-/Windows-related stuff
Many of these projects are a bit outdated, but still useful.
Feel free to copy the programs and/or the sourcecode. Delphi is still a great software development tool from Codegear/Embarcadero (formerly Borland), even in the age of „Visual blabla“ from Microsoft, the current (commercial) version is Delphi 13. Unfortunately the „free“ version Turbo Delphi Explorer (derived from Delphi 2006) seems to be no more available <*>. May be a Delphi 7 PE included in a book will be an alternative way to get still a legal, free but old version (search for a book named „Delphi für Kids“ from „BHV Verlag“).
There is also a „Community Edition“ (at the time of writing, Delphi 12 Community Edition) which is free, but limited somewhat (still you can give the software a try).
There are countless ready made Delphi components (see here), so Delphi is still the rapid development tool for a fast prototyping.One useful utility to search executable program files which are compressed/scrambled by exepackers like UPX is written from me also in Delphi – see my Delphi program pages. Also there are some serious tipps now how to protect yourself against being spyed out – by all kind of programs (e.g. wiretapping done from a provider).
<*> there is only 1 mirror left, ftp.sunet.se (it offer also the turbo hotfix rollup package), and some single sites for Turbo Delphi and Turbo C++/Net Explorer. „Turbomirror.com“ does not offer it anymore.
