  Writing a TMemo in Delphi is 1% of the overall project. The *hard*
part is setting up a quick database, writing the formatter, and
converting UUCP format back and forth from the database. In Delphi,
any dill can do what keith did (most of the code he published was 
written automatically). What I don't understand is why he wants to 
advertise what a dill he is. Is it a dill contest, and I lost the
rule book?
