Just two quick questions:
1. By "storage", I mean, variables declared in the OnExecute handler, which is a method of the TService class (when the TIdTCPServer is added to the service form, that's how it gets declared). I assume all variables there are "thread-safe".
2. I see some posts about "broken" Indy libraries in Borland C++ Builder 2007.
My version says: 10.0.0.17. Is it ok? Should I upgrade?

Thanks again!!!
