Maybe so, but it STILL doesn't belong in comp.lang.c++.  Comp.lang.c++
is for discussion of C++ PERIOD.  The newsgroup is currently suffering
from an excess of off-topic postings.  DLL's don't belong there.  VCL's
(whatever they are) don't belong there.  How to respond to WM_PAINT
doesn't belong there.  Discussion of anything non-C++ doesn't belong
there!

If you feel this strongly that Delphi should be discussed in the C++
newsgroups, then I would recommend that you initiate the creation of
comp.lang.c++.advocacy.  Until then, please keep it out of
comp.lang.c++.

Thank you
