I don't agrre with you. New/Dispose will do the job if they have the correct pointer datatype. For example if you have a TList with pointers to record, doing: Dispose(MyList[I]); won't correctly finalize dynamic members (long string and others) in the record. Doing: Dispose(TMyRecord(MyList[I])); will correctly finalize the record. If you want to use GetMem/FreeMem, you must call Initialize() and Finalize() procedure yourself.
