can anyone here explain me why it is there and what it stands for? Right
now I don't see a reason for that, but maybe there's a platform independent
thing I don't see right now (I'm on Win32 at the moment).
Good question! I asked the same think many years back and could never
get a clear answer. The documentation is also no help.
This could be interpreted wrong. I meant I asked this years ago when I
used Delphi, and the Delphi developers could give me a answer either.
Seem Borland had some idea for it, but never found time to implement
it and it got stuck there ever since.
That second parameter is for C++ Builder compatibility. In C++,
overloaded constructors cannot differ by name, they can differ only by
parameter list. Therefore, a dummy parameter was introduced, otherwise
it would be impossible to call TCustomForm.CreateNew from C++ code.
ps. I believe I've learned this from the documentation.

Sergei
