Installation was easy, downloading the files and installing and then it offering to download the update 3 took quite most of the time – about an hour each.
Installing a few components was easy – FindFile HAHFindFile and QProgressBar and TurboPower Abbrevia (the last from Sourceforge has a XE2 source complete with all files needed to build and worked exactly as the installation instructions. About 30-60 minutes all up and I done. A common library file of mine has several issues to resolve with string handling – still sorting that.so haven’t built anything large yet. Otherwise effortless so far: eg: a search program I wrote compiles and runs unaltered just slightly slower, eg 7.1 secs as compared to D2007 version at 6.8 sec – acceptable seeing as its converting every line internally to Unicode strings as it reads files. But I do have one question! Why has the executable gone from 527K to 1.5MB? What is all the extra stuff in it? Its not runtime themes as I turned those off and it shrunk only by 200K to 1.3MB. Nothing else in the project options looked unusual or that different. (Program uses a FindFiles component (stringlist), a few stringlists, a stringgrid, 2 forms, a few edit boxes and checkboxes......nothing unusual so why now so much larger?) John Bird
