I'd love to know exactly what the problem was, so i could say, hey get
this ***.dll and fix their problems that way. The code that generally
gave the errors was when using DeviceCapabilities to find printer Info,
maybe it was just bad print drivers (this of course would not be
un-common)?

Yes, well GetMem is a very fundamental procedure. I mean, the VCL is
full
of calls to GetMem - Delphi would really fall apart without it (no
dynamic
array usage would be safe, for example). Obviously you have to watch
your
step when using it, but if I'd had the number of problems that (I infer)
you've had with it, then I'd suspect that that there was a corrupt
version
of borlandmm.dll being propagated around. Might that be a possibility?
Cheers,
Carl
