As to the support, email lists are much preferred here, as they just work, so you don't have to go downloading the latest news etc, or crawling a web-forum. I would just ignore a web forum, totally hopeless. But I would prefer an NNTP news server, it would need to be authenticated to

Using a dynamic array of byte will not slow down the component if the array size is not constanly changed. And if the Move function is used to move data around, specifically when the project uses the FastMove unit which has very efficient move code. Mind Move uses pointers, so might be
