I am porting an application from Indy 9 to Indy 10.

In Indy 9 I had code to read data into a dynamically allocated char 
buffer using ReadBuffer.

     char* Buffer;
     int Length;

     ...
     ReadBuffer(Buffer, Length);
     ...

I have found that I need to do the following instead in Indy 10.

     char* Buffer;
     int Length;

     ...
     TIdBytes byteBuf;
     byteBuf.Length = Length;
     IOHandler->ReadBytes(byteBuf, Length);
     BytesToRaw(byteBuf, Buffer, Length);
     ...

My question is, is there a way to get Indy 10 to read directly into the 
existing char buffer? I would like to avoid the extra allocations and 
the buffer copy if possible.

TIA
Dennis Cote
