[DUG] The "xxx.bdsproj.local" file frustration

[Rohit Gupta]

I had this in 2005,  I havent dared look the proj files in 2007.  I 
discovered then (from memory) that it was copying either the 
windows.path or the path from a previous delphi version..  Sorry, cant 
be more precise.

I would really like an explanation from Borland of what each of the 
files do and if they are used in D2007.
