Hi Ross,
Rather than have an application load 30 DLLS (none of which it uses) for
the sake of another application which might use as few as just 2 of those
30 and only ever one at a time, why not simply cache each loaded DLL in the
application that is actually using them ?
I would hope that your

As a matter of historical curiosity, Delphi 1 was the first AND last
version to support 16-bit targets.
Delphi 2 included Delphi 1 in the box for people that still needed 16-bit
support but otherwise it was 32-bit all the way from Delphi 2 onward.
There is no direct Sleep() equivalent in 16-bit a

The idea of Microsoft buying Delphi has come up numerous times over the

"native code gap". But that was when Microsoft was "betting the farm" on

To all of the implementation tips/observations aside, I would add the

One other thing to watch out for is if you have methods which accept
strings as untyped buffers. Passing a "String" to these methods will not
convert them to ANSIString, so the method receives a buffer of WIDEChars.

There is nothing that immediately jumps out as suspicious in the code,
