I started making a diagram of what procedure inherited from what object and what subroutine called what other subroutine. It's hard to keep it all in your head, so might as well make a little map or diagram of the code. It works, but hundreds of little maps need to be created for several functions. Delphi source code is probably similar, but a few less layers since they are not supporting multiple OS any more. The Delphi open tools API was always a nightmare to work with, having to always tap into bizarre classes just to do simple things, so we know they aren't perfect at implementing the simplest possible solution. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
