Steve,

Thanks so much for the response, and for being the face of the R&D team 
in these newsgroups.

I almost hate to ask the question, but my conscience simply won't allow 
me to leave it unsaid - is there any time-frame for the next release, so 
we can see the "bunch of work on that area"?

I don't want to rush you folks - it seems you have a lot on your plate.  
While I have been a bit inconvenienced by these D2005 issues, I'm 
managing (for example, I found that learning C# isn't as difficult as I 
thought, and it enabled me to write a .NET app that just wasn't working 
with the "Delphi for .Net" personality).  However, I am getting a little 
discouraged about the general overall tone from developers using D2005.  
Delphi is an awesome tool, and I am _really_ hoping that your next round 
of improvements can stop the erosion of your developer base.

Wishing you all the best, both personally, and for the R&D team as a 
whole,

Daniel Bragg
