Why is use MidasLib and not Midas.dll?

Hello!

Why, In PivotCube VCL, is use MidasLib and not Midas.dll?


Thanks

Because distributing of midas.lib much more complex and may be under dedicated Borland license. For Delphi5 midaslib not needed at all, it use bde datasets instead of TClientDataSet

I think is better to use midas.dll than midasLib.
In my case I use midas.dll from Delphi 2006 (I have Delphi 7 ) because of a bug in midas.dll in Delphi 7.
I comment out your use in midasLib because I can’t use both

No problem.
If you have VCL sources you may comment corresponding line and change it to use dll version.

But I would not like distribute midas.dll with trial package or ActiveX control.
