Joylon,
this sounds like an excellent idea (as long as the ifdefs work in an
include file and the IDE does not keep removing the $I directive.) I
shall try it as soon as I mend the stupid thing again.
I can no longer start XE6 because it says that rtl200.bpl is missing.
Well I cant find any 200.bpls at all !!!
