Just break the string by ":" and then use proper filename functions upon the right part (ExtractFilePath etc)

Sniffers like Wireshark or Fiddler allow to see raw requests even with encrypted connection. They require installing their cert though. Otherwise you can run a HTTP=>HTTPS proxy and dump its traffic

myParentNode uninitialized?

Why not create folder junction \project\current to point to whatever version you need. Also with simple batch file you can remap it to any previous one. But in general I'd suggest you not doing such kind of mess and use VCS

I wasn't aware GIF has cured of its license. However it's still outdated. Seems now APNG, MP4 and WEBM rule but whether use them or not depends on whether you can manage to find corresponding Delphi libs.

Are you on W7? There were tricks to make current RAD run on W7

I doubt it. GIF is too old and also infected with proprietary license. Do you really want to create GIF file or just some animation?

Goto is an another tool in the box as well 😉 Mainly for highly-optimized routines though (FastCode's functions are full of them). However I never needed it myself in my code

Nope on your nope 😉 That was more or less actual when the question was asked (12 yr ago) but now, according to your estimations, it's 3x legacy. IE8 in 22 is hardly a something to consider

Following MS-beloved naming style, that rather would be "*.Microsoft.Windows.Application" 😄

Who on Earth wrote that? Some of these diff's I just can't understand (" When the error level is called using BAT, the previous command is executed. " - ?? "Commands and utilities along with the programming language make CMD unique" / "The program is just a batch script and is called a batch file" - WTH that means?), some mention ancient command.com (my W7 has no this binary and still BAT files can be run), and some are just weird. I was always thinking CMD is just a newer alias for BAT introduced just to calm down MS's NIH syndrome. P.S. EXE is even more stoneage. Why not replace it with something new? 🙂

Also note that "'" is bad style (magic number), more correct is "'", sometime web masters could change to the latter one

No surprize. MS is well-known to replace good things people got used to with new buggy stuff nobody likes.

Couldn't these changes be incorporated into OverbyteIcsZLibObj itself to reduce changes in "uses" sections?

Maybe because many software just doesn't need to switch when things are working fine already?

Pseudocode: RegExp.Replace('regexp-that-selects-lines-without-numbers', SourceStr, '')

Start with reading docs then write code in accordance and post it here if you experience any errors. Why expecting someone writes code for you

Small units are good for modularization but they complicate code navigation and understanding and enlarge "uses" section. As anywhere - it's important to keep the balance

Moreover, if an app does no heavy memory operations (simple DB client with no significant local data processing / loading f.i.), any MM will perform well.

D7 has MaxInt for sure as I use it everywhere in Copy. I really can't understand why Borland didn't make 3rd parameter optional. That magic constant likely has its origin from the very ancient versions. However, that could be High(Integer) instead... 4 is magic constant defined personally by yourself 😛

Or use a more advanced grid that can display custom icons for boolean fields

I'd tie events to tdataset fields rather than to controls.

XML validation would only have sense if you had configurable set of validation rules (f.i. as another XML or XSD). Otherwise I see no reason to validate output rather than source data.

Try some built-in demo. If it won't raise exception, the problem is at your side.
