Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in thenextversion of Delphi

I personally don't see why that needs to be the case. That's like saying that
you can't issue new versions of DLL's once there are programs using the old
versions. If DCU's truly can't ever be forward or backward compatible in the
same manner, I'd say that is a serious design flaw in the DCU format.

You want DLL hell with DCU's? I don't.

If one wants to protect their investment in third party components, buy
the source and recompile them when upgrading BDS. Regardless, most
component vendors I've dealt with are very good about issuing new builds
or offering discounts as I've upgraded Delphi. I just don't think this
is a top ten issue.
