[DUG] Usage - initialization and finalization

[Conor Boyd]

I would suggest that a more OO (and less form-oriented) approach to this
would be to "set initial stuff up and then release stuff" in
constructors and destructors, respectively.
 
If you follow the one class = one unit ideal, then you could also look
at the Initialization and Finalization sections as being "static
constructors" or "type initializers/finalizers" to use generic OO and
.NET terms respectively for what one generally uses these sections for.
 
Maybe that's some use to somebody...

Otherwise I've used the onFormComplete and onDestroy to set intial stuff
up and then release stuff. 
 
But I am guessing that Finailization is a better place to release stuff
(help avoid memoery leakage under certain circumstances?), but
Initialization would have to be used for Finalization to be acceptable..
