Greetings,
I just tried to go to Detlev's Winbatch UDF site here:
www.winbatch.hpdd.de
However, the page and domain are gone. I also tried Googling "Detliv Winbatch UDFs" and also found nothing. Are Detliv's Winbatch UDFs still available anywhere?
Regards,
Jeff
I have not heard from Detlev since about 2013, I think. I believe there may have been a copy of his many excellent scripts in HTML form saved to a computer at Wilson WindowWare, but that system is long gone. I will look through ILC LLC's archives for copies, but I am not hopeful.
I think both Jim and I downloaded the udf's. For me, would be on an archived USB if I can find it. However, I'm sure most are on the Tech DB.

I have the entire website. Maybe Tony could host it in the tech database. I don't know what the copyright issues would be with that.

Copyright concerns are valid.

If everything goes as planned, you should receive an email message from Support shortly.
I've been searching for Detlev's UDFs as well... I backed them up years ago but cannot now find the backups.
Has a solution been provided? If you search for "Detlev" in the Tech Database you can find his arraysort udfs. The others are not there though, as far as I can tell.
I can't imagine Detlev would be bothered by his work being made available or consider it a copyright violation, based on his last post, years ago. Obviously if it was posted giving credit to someone else that would be a different matter.

I believe the OP has been taken care of. As for copyrights, ILC LLC does not have the luxury of imagining anything regarding them.
I was thinking of it more of whether it was okay to pass on to someone else. I understand the hesitancy in hosting.

I fully understand Tony's posish. For my part, I know I have them somewhere... If I can locate them I am happy to assist. My email is below my avatar.
On the website I saved he provided a download link... so it "appears" he was ok with people downloading the site.

If anyone wants the zip file I'd be more than happy to share it.
NOTE: Upon review of my archives I have two "Detlev Dalitz" websites. One has UDF/UDS scripts and the other has the scripts plus a "Download" directory that has various zip files that contain dll files with their "C" source code.

I learned something new. The word "posish" isn't slang as I had assumed. My spell checker doesn't like it but according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it has been around since about 1850.
What does it mean? I assumed it was a typo for "position".
I would consider it more of a "Woodhouse-ism". Read the first few lines of this master work (http://www.myths.com/pub/fiction/general/Wodehouse/Much-Obliged-Jeeves.html) to see how the language was pretzeled in the 1920s...
PG Wodehouse is best known for creating the iconic character of a butler named Jeeves (hence askjeeves.com), immortalized by Hugh Laurie (Bertie Wooster) and Steven Fry (butler Jeeves) in the much-loved Jeeves & Wooster (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098833/) BBC series. (A sleeper if ever there was one)
This is the word-nerd content that makes this forum great!
(I can't imagine Jeeves and Wooster without seeing Fry and Laurie in my minds eye. Iconic.)

Hi Tony,
I haven't seen an email come through. I've been watching my inbox for anything related to "Winbatch," "UDF," "Detliv," "Dalitz," etc. Is there a way to communicate privately on this board to exchange email addresses with you or other participants?
Thanks,
Jeff
It's all archived.

Excellent. The downloadable version of Detlev's site in the archive is newer than the ILC LLC copy.
It does appear that the link is off a bit:
