True, but as Joylon correctly points out, you can (in the VCL) actually cater for the difference in a real index out of bounds error and a LongInt(TObject) typecase returning -1. It's a bug and should be logged on QC, if it isn't there already. On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 12:50 PM, Kyley Harris

Pro upgrade is $519 (AUD) for Delphi 2010. Just because something is free doesn't make it a good investment. The apple tools are way behind other IDE's for usability and functionality. I suggest you download them and try them for yourself. Oh, you'll need apple hardware as well to do that ;-)
