Hmm, yes.  Adding a TdxLib dependency has its downsides indeed.

The problem with copying code is that long-term maintenance becomes
harder.  When a bug is found you have to find and fix all the copies of
that code.  That's why I strongly prefer to avoid code copy&paste.
Sometimes there is no easy way around creating a copy though.

take care,
