Steal someone else's followers - function will grab followers list and autofollow them 2. Check for people who I follow but who does not follow me and dump them 3. Check for people who follows me but I don't and follow them 4. Send auto message everytime someone follows u and auto follow them too 5. Search Bio data and make i click Follow all search results 6. Send a DM to all your followers with 1 click 7. Fild people based on number of followers - say 0 followers people ...... @Forkoholic I’m lazy to write at this point but I can use some good source code

I started working on a twitter client in Delphi also. I wanted to build a very simple, small program but with some special features to distinguish it from all the others. I have a working prototype but it still needs a lot of work. I aim to get it posted to sourceforge sometime soon, time allowing. Hi, this looks very interesting.

That would help you out with your external dependencies quite a bit... It would seem, from your conversation, that you’re not aware of SVN’s Externals feature.

I need a little help and guidance form some experts. I used to work with mainframes decades ago. I would like to write a pgm again. I haven't written a pgm since cobol, rpg and a little os360/370 assembler in early 80's. I'd like to learn a more current language. Preferably in windows environment, just standalone local execution, able to manipulate table records (excel spreadsheet or sequential file), cool to be able to create windows gui for data input to maintain file currency and reports, mathmatical computations against record fields and read records and add or modify data. Basically ability to add records to table (only 1000 or so records large and possibly more than one table) select and perform computations (pretty good table manipulation abilities helpful) and print reports. I have explored the web and found unbelievable number (alphabet soup of names) of free shareware languages and expensive languages available. I don't know the differences, ease of learning, and strengths/weaknesses. Way too many choices and I have no idea where to start. If I can be so bold to ask, one public free and one reasonably priced recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ron Hello,

You can find the Assembla page here: http://www.assembla.com/spaces/Dweetta I hope the community gives a hand.

I contacted TMS and they donated free licenses with source of the smooth controls. That way we can support future versions of Delphi too! Good point Francois.

This in itself would be a major reason for not using them however free, cool and good looking them might be. You won't be able to fix a bug by yourself or upgrade them for the next Delphi if they are not maintained anymore. Even if they are source compatible, just a change in the dcu format and you're stuck. Been there done that... just my $0.02 ;-) If I’m not mistaken, the TMS controls for D2009 users do not come with the source.

While it's cool, and has nice features, It's source does not work with Lazarus project which is key if you want to support the application to run on linux/mac. Maybe TMS could make a build for Lazarus down the road I don't know. I guess my feeling about 3rd party also falls on the TMS pack.
