I have a USB serial port designed in a custom data acquisition board,

I was able to accomplish this with a TEST button and an OnClick handler.
Fine :-)
Does your entire project now run, based on Lazarus?
I have not tried that yet, and I probably won't, unless it becomes
necessary. The BTSA and Ortmaster projects are now mature and stable, and
won't need more than a few maintenance tweaks like the change of serial port component. The Ortmaster project is particularly complex due to database portions using BDE and QuickReports.
What I probably should do is a rewrite pretty much from the ground up. Much
of the code is questionable and inefficient due to my learning Delphi as I built and enhanced the project. The BTSA project may be simple enough to rewrite, and I need to make better use of object based programming
practices. I do have some of the code in separate units, but some units use conditional compiles based on ORT or BTSA $defines.
I plan to build a new project that will read a huge CSV text file (about 1.8 GB), and split it into more manageable file sizes that can be converted to spreadsheet format with Open Office. It has a maximum of 1048576 lines with
an ODS file of 11.2 MB. This is a database of all songs in the ASCAP
database. It was supplied in a 288 MB zipfile.
Somehow I got interested in copyright issues and royalties and licenses for performing or playing copyrighted music in public or private venues. I think licenses and royalties mostly apply to professional musicians and DJs and
for recording and selling music. I have recorded myself and others playing
and singing music and have made YouTube videos of that. It's a tricky
subject!
