Second, RapidQ hasn't been updated since 2000, if what I've found is correct. And it's an interpreted language. Granted the interpreter is included with each executable, but since it's not C or C++, it won't be considered for inclusion with trunk.
Third, I often wonder if some of the things proposed on the forum are solutions looking for a problem. The issue of getting installers into ROS, be it downloading or otherwise, has been discussed with the devs. They're open to putting in a simple download utility through the command line, but have stated that some of the APIs needed are still not ready. As no one is actually working on the networking code at the moment, that's not surprising. Getting those APIs implemented would do a lot more than finding utilities that need them to work.
The idea of a "package manager" on ReactOS seems like people think it's the responsibility of the OS developers to handle and streamline all applications that can install on the OS. It's not. Linux and BSDs do it because of their own negligence of backwards compatibility. Microsoft rarely has to deal with third party source code and that's the way it should be. Application writers themselves should be the ones that do the heavy lifting.
I'm still taking a look at other Real compilers that may allow
inclusion into trunk
Or maybe just delete the entire post? I will simply continue to answer the original post.
I'm not interrested by inclusion. I think I might not even grant it
Concerning network ReactOS should already be able to download
files from command line HTGET for windows perfectly works.
Windows does not provide a package manager because of
licencing. Linux package managers has nothing to do with
compatibility.
Anyway it has always been painfull to download/install something
on ReactOS.
You always need to use an ISO file or a
Virtual Drive.
Maybe this tiny tools will help beginners. 8)

hey, nice look.. and good work !
