Much of the success of Python comes from IoT and embedded. That's simply not the playground of Magic and it will never be. I used it last year once a while too, for stuff quite similar to what you ori

Hi Steve, I imported and ran this and it worked. I tested with Hercules Terminal. I need the 'Client' side, rather than the Server side, but should be able to make progress with this as an example. Mu

Philip, Sorry, late to the party. Apologies. I just uploaded some demo programs to this forum's shared Files area that illustrate, among other things, the steps required to implement a TCP Listener, w

Thanks for your help Craig, I was concerned about your last statement though, so I took a look at their financials for 2018/17 and the last quarter, 2019. I'd be happy if my business was growing at 10

For me, Magic has always been a great manifestation of the 80/20 rule. And that can be stated in various ways. Magic with 20% of effort can give you 80% of results, but that final 20% might take anoth

Thank you all for your willingness to help. It may take a while, but I will let you know how I get on. Philip

Philip, I created something similar using Nodejs that runs on a Windows 2016 server. It listens for incoming vehicle location data and inserts the data into a MySQL table. There is also a Node data co

Hi Andreas Ah single user edition, that might have indeed been different. Fair point on the send and pray, never knew much about that end. Our dll is a custom GUI chart, and we use the external event

Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. I swore that I did look for it not so long ago and did not find it. I came to the conclusion that its maybe considered a "enterprise feature" and simply does not exist i

Hi Andreas The external events are still around. Our main app is Magic 9 but we keep doing test conversions and are close to jumping to XPA. In 3.3d our external event still seems to be going strong.

I think the external events do not exist anymore - since quite a while. When you need to send some data over a socket or receive from it (blokcking) you indeed could paste the code in a .NET sniplet a

Hi Philip I would imagine you could call a batch program, go in to its task properties and on the advanced tab set parallel execution, and maybe single instance as well. This would make it a backgroun

Hi all, I was a Magic developer 20+ years ago and taking a new look at the product and have downloaded a 'home' XPA 3.2. I have a project that requires receiving data from a TCP Socket. e.g. 192.168.0
