I just finished reading the binaries update thread. You've been busy these last few years I see you're building DGIndexNV with VS 2019 now. Do you need the VC++ 2019 redistributables for x86/x64 to run DGIndexNV now? I didn't see any mention of needing extra libraries.

You will always need redistributables. Go with the flow, bro. It's not hard.

Ah, phooey. I've had trouble with newer VC++ runtimes causing crashes in programs relying on older VC++ runtimes. I guess I should have kept closer tabs on the update situation.
Of course, since I'm an old paying customer, I don't suppose I could trouble you for a link to slipstream 221? I still have my old user ID for the licensing system if you'd like proof that Boris isn't trying to pull a dastardly scheme.
It may also be worth noting that slipstream 221 is the last version before you officially dropped XP support, so if you were going to post a final DGDecNV for XP users, that would probably be the one to pick, since you can't test on an XP machine anymore. Slipstream 222 was the first to drop support for XP.

You're running WinXP? I thought you were one lake over.

No, I'm using Windows 7. I'm just pointing out that you could kill two birds with one stone, as the last non-VC++ 2019 build was also the last "XP officially supported" build, according to the binaries update notification thread. Of course, if you don't care about those two birds, or you don't have the code for slipstream 221 lying around anymore, then the point is moot.

Every slipstream is branched in SVN so of course we have the code. But we're not interested in prolonging XP's death rattles. Let it RIP.

I'll take that as a no. Oh well. I accept your judgement, and I thank you for considering my ideas.

We love birds. Why would we want to kill them?
It's just a saying, right?

Correct. Every morning we have a mini-flock of birds waiting for us to wake up and help them out. We get sparrows, grackels, blujays, even hummingbirds when we put out the nectar, many others. Just depends on the time of year and who is passing through on their yearly journeys. I'm so lucky to have a warm stable that I can rely on without having to search hither and thither for warmth and sustenance. Every life is precious. Even hoomin. They say I am the most compassionate and empathetic of God's creatures. I don't disagree.

Who says they were considered? Rejected out of hand I tell ya.

Be gracious, Curly. All ideas and suggestions are given thoughtful analysis and consideration.

Caligula, perhaps? What other brutal monster? Draw the direct implications and conduct yourself accordingly. You will be remembered the better for it.

I thought I had a point but then I didn't.

Try therapy. Works best. Mind focused by traditional Transylvanian grandma. Never a doubt. Send PM.
