Aaarrgghhhhh!!!

My problem is that I used Delphi ever since v1, which call them class methods, 
but for the past five years, I have also been using C#, which call them static 
methods.

I stand corrected and promise to try and get it right from now on :-)

Unfortunately, "static" seems to have developed a mind of its own :-)
