I should probably chime in here and help clear some of this up.

Thanks for this Mark.

I shall not contact you, though, as I certainly don't intend to jump ship. I
have invested too much time and effort in my project to rewrite it using
another IDE / programming language, not to mention that I yet have to find
something else that I would be happy to use (I tried). You guys at Borland
have done a very good job over the years, it's just that the standard has,
in my view, slipped a bit in the last few years, but things seem to be going
up again, which is good!
