Windows 7 properly supports it, as you can check with this test:

speak.vbs
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
dim tts

set tts = createobject("sapi.spvoice")

tts.speak "hello world"


double click on that vbs file and Windows 7 will say it :-)

so this seems as a Borland uncompatibility problem. There is almost nothing that we can do there, except build it with Microsoft if you need voices

Antonio,

When you have time, could you please try with latest BCC 6.5 and FWH built with 6.5?.

It will be also an important test to see if BCC 5.82 is now too old.

Thanks.

Muchas gracias. Many thanks.

Lucas,

I think it would be a much clever desition to migrate to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010/2012.

These days I have been working more with it and it provides really great tools to analize performance, low level debug, best integration with Microsoft (obviously) :-)

Lately I enjoy Microsoft new tools instead of Borland ones (too complex, too heavy, too changing). If we develop for Windows, why don't we use Microsoft tools ? :-) and Harbour + FWH ;-)

regards, saludos

I would use those three "too"s just for Microsoft! :-) What is complex, heavy or changing in Borland compilers?

Enrico,

If you compare bcc32.exe with cl.exe they are basically the same (quite similar, as they are the compilers). The libraries and the header files are almost identical, The same applies to the linkers, so whats the difference ?

Lets say you want to use a low level debugger ? I just need a C/C++ debugger. A good one. Visual Studio one works really fine and you can get it for free.

And the Visual Studio profiler is great. Yesterday I was analizing FWH apps with it and getting real valuable info.

Sadly Borland dropped the "easy" way, not proving an easy to download compiler, free, that everybody could use. Now if you want it, you have to install something huge (try it and you will get really scared about it). Incredibly Microsoft has become simpler on this, and Borland lost its simplicity.

regards, saludos

I completely agree with Antonio's point of view. Msvc is the way to go.

I have migrated all my applications to Harbour /Msvc 2010

Everything running smooth so far

Lucas,

Embarcadero software has to be downloaded from Embarcadero website, so please don't provide any links for other sources, thanks
