dmeditor - 11.8.0.433

06.06.2012 16:48:48 Build #433 - it was decided that a new version should be made with a lot of minor improvements, mostly in scripts.
 DMRes.RES              Build #433

14.05.2012 22:14:21 Post-fix after build #432 was made - a couple of UI defects especially annoying on Window7 was solved.
 rrr.htm                Problem with page size under MSIE9 (QA_0113052012)
 MainWnd.pas            1. Mainmenu bug on Aero interface - QA_0111052012
                        2. Progressbar freeze and poor performance on
                        Windows7 - QA_0106052012

 dm2003.htm             Problem with page size under MSIE9 (QA_0113052012)
21.04.2012 23:15:14 Build #432: a couple of important new features were implemented: QA_0131102011 - support of compressed DMWs; QA_0231102011 - filters in open/save dialogs. Filters make opening and saving data files much more comfortable, DataBrowser script now also supports this feature. When you create data file extension, it is added to the list of extensions in the filter. Compression reduces the size of desktop files even more effectively than for data files. Now it is possible to use pixel graphics on the plots (QA_0112052011) without sacrificing workspace file size.

 Enum.pas               Now we use TInterfacedObject. Previous version

                        because ContainedObjects are not destroyed 
                        after use in for..each cycles (they use 
                        refcount of their Controller)

 MainWnd.pas            1. Statusline correctly displays filename 
                        which is actually URL (ShortContainerName)
                        2. ReOpen menu displays correct INI file
                        extension instead of hardcoded TXT
                        (now read from MetaBase registry key)
                        3. DescExtension also corrected in

 DataWnd.pas            Disk file existence checked in CloseQuiery
                        (need for URLs, also for invalid filenames)
                        Now an attempt to save data into invalid 
                        file will force "Save As" dialog box
                        instead of saving to undefined directory

11.04.2011 20:57:09 Build #407 - now labels may paste pictures directly from Acrobat Reader as bitmaps
 DMPlot.pas             QA_0118032011 - paste BMPs into labels
24.02.2011 23:10:57 In the build #400 full support for thick dashed lines was implemented (display/copy/print/save). Notice that one should paste plots as EMFs, not as a "pictures" - otherwise dashed lines may be displayed as solid when you enlarge the picture. Also now plot page copied as BMP, with correct background color (which is not included in EMF). Notice that Paint (and other pixel graphics software) sometimes incorrectly transformed EMF into BMP (e.g. vertical greek letters do not displayed properly), now everything is safe.

proppage - 11.8.0.433

06.06.2012 15:39:10 Fixed UI bug - QA_0129052012. Interestingly, I have to add new component (a panel). Otherwise control layout always breaks.

14.05.2012 21:54:52 This is another post-fix solving problems that were ignored previously. Version was not changed!
 PropPack.pas           1) Problems with progressbar animation and
                        performance on Win7 solved - QA_0106052012
                        2) Now compression progress form is modal!
                        more exactly, modal window behavior was
                        simulated (see QA_0206052012 for details)

22.04.2012 1:56:51 This is a postfix (bug found after dm2003 build #432)
 PropServ.pas           Bugfix: new signatures added in methods
                        called by dispinterface 

 PropDMW.pas            Added ??? caption if no valid signature
20.04.2012 1:21:34 Build #428 includes a lot of improvements. 1) QA_0131102011 - support of zipped dat and dmw files Now ALL these features are completed in both DM2003 and MetaBase, including DataBrowser and configuration. Moreover, NEW shell extension was added - a context menu for data file compression and decompression. 2) bugfix: new server DLL retaining algorithm was implemented. Now instances of proppage always released, while DLL always locked - to avoid mysterious crashes. Certainly it is unloaded when host terminates, as in previous versions.
 PropPage.dof           New build #428
 PropPage.dpr           New PropMenu.pas and PropPack.pas units

                        W9.x
                        2. TDMPropertySheet now always released (it was a 
                        BUG!)
                        3. InitializeShellExt refactored (now common with

05.04.2012 17:04:29 In this build #420 following two problems were (almost) solved: 1) QA_0207032009 - form scaling in large font mode (also, changes were made in DM2003) 2) QA_0101042012 - problem with file access. Previously if file (dmw or txt or dat - for compression!) access was denied, proppage may crash host app. So, it was decided to make checks in both InitializeXXX methods and dispinterface methods, and do not display page in case of problems (like system proppages). However, new global problem with server retain mechanism was discovered. It seems that COM objects just never released! Also, if user displays first page after host start for "wrong" file, dll will be unloaded and host will crash with the same symptoms as if COM object would be released - ComServer.ObjectCount will set to 0. This trouble have to be solved.

QA0107122011

 TSerie AreaBorder may be label!
It would be useful if this property may
reference not only series or axes, but
also line labels! Labels have more scaling
options, so that it's possible to show, for
example, an area between points and a 
constant value other than axis min or max.
Technically it seems to be no problem - both
VCL (use label index in the same manner as
for series, but negative+shift) and COM.

QA0804052011

 Migration - toolbar creep (XP)
======= 06.05.2011 ============
Coolbar.OnResize cleared as earlier.
======= 12.05.2011 ============
The problem persists!!! on Windows7, 
creeping again in Aero and simplified
modes (not in classic). Temporary 
workaround solution applied...

QA0117052011

 UI flaw - in SM and virtuallistbox
series glyph background always white!
This is wrong - if we use black plot
and white series elements, it will be
invisible. Plot color must be used.

QA0117082011

 Docking bug - behavior is different
if Welcome page is loaded at startup or not.
When both browser and Notes are stacked in the
vertical dock (one above other), the dock positions
remembered successfully if WP not loaded. But
if yes, windows will be docked side by side!
======= 14:18 30.08.2011 ==========
Further investigation reveals that the reason is as 
follows: in script, browser is docked programmatically
into the left dock panel and shown if ShowWelcome flag
is set. On docking, if special window is already docked
AND VISIBLE, it is redocked so that if another window 
was in the same dock below or above, both windows will
be placed side by side! The cure: check whether the
window is already docked into the same dock (not dependent 
on the visibility!) and if yes, just do nothing! Also,
qa # 0106052011 should be reexamined! And, in addition,
maybe it is reasonable to enable scripts to determine
whether window is docked, in the same manner as visibility.

QA0101012010

 Balloon - error on WXPSP3GE
machine (nothing works in the test app!)
Solution: make an option, off by default

QA0102012010

 TDMApplication.PlotPointClick.
After first event handler in cycle
returns True, others are not invoked!
because of B- compilation directive.
So that scripter blocks this event 
for other providers.
Also detailed help on this event must
be provided - see impdemo.exe trouble
(tools blocked because of no handler)

QA0131102011

 Support of zipped dat and dmw files.
Uncompressed data can occupy 3-6 times more
space, which is especially important since 
new versions may effectively process files
as large as 10 MB and more. How to implement
compression? 2 scenarios are possible:
1) as a zip archive - regular archive produced
by TC or special software. Here may be 
following pros and contras - where to store
metadata? if inside archive, MB will have to
be overcomplicated; if outside - only one file
may be archived (while several files at once
may be opened as a convenient alternative, and
to store txt in the same archive is much more
intuitive from user's viewpoint). In this case,
double extension .dat.zip may be used
2) in a special format, not compatible with
archivers, in a single files. Main motivation -
no one is really needed to view the contents
of data or dmw as a text! Also, MB may remain 
intact - even in dmw case, we can compress only
data part, while description and preview may
be uncompressed. We can discriminate compressed
desktops by special signature after description.
For data files, it is possible either use 
signature with the same extension, or just use
datz extension (MB will work without any changes
in both cases).
Important! especially in the second case, it may
be useful to perform compression/decompression
programmatically, and separately from DM2003! So
that, a special console app, DLL and COM object
should be made (DLL may be scriptable, and reusable
by DM2003.exe). Also notice - ZLib used for PNGs 
will be affected (see patch folder).
File opening may be done automatically, but saving
may depend on the server options. Probably console
app+wsh will be sufficient. All operations should 
preserve file timestamp.
===== 23:11 20.12.2011 =====
Instead of tools for compressing/decompressing, one
can imagine very practical solution - menu shell 
extension! Just select one or more files and do it.
Shell MB pages should display compression status and
allow to change it like standard attributes.
======== 14:58 14.04.2012 ==========
DMW compression: unicode version will support both 
compressed and uncompressed. The reason: although
we do not need to keep up compatibility with existing
installations of previous versions, as in case of 
ANSI builds, it was found that it will *simplify* the
code! Also, uncompressed files may be easily debugged.

QA0221012009

 Label rectangle align.
Such labels as text have point 
in topleft corner. However, it
will be very useful to have 
additional choices, e.g. to fix
distance between label and right
axis, or label and bottom axis.
At least, 4 additional points
should be implemented.

QA0218012009

 New label type - vertical text

QA0318012009

 Label coordinates model.
The matter is that some label types have 2 
points - start and end, so that they should
have separate axes for each point!
Also we should add X,YAxis2 fields.
========= 21.1.2009 ========
It was determined that secondary axes 
don't allow the same flexibility as
additional pinmodes! For 1,2 points,
5 pinmodes for x,y give 25 variants,
while additional axes - only 21!!!
Such variants as (X,Y)=(Axi,Sca) or
(Sca,Axi) are impossible, because 
in Axis mode Y axis used for X,
so that there's no choice in Y
Scale mode. So, we have to make 
additional pinmodes instead of axes.

QA0118102008

 Plot legend bug.
If series title contains HTML, it
will be replaced by plain text in
Custom Legend Editor. See DMW for details.

QA0102022012

 New DMAppHelper CoClass!
This component should be used primarily to
reference DMInternalApplication object from
ActiveX documents loaded into Minibrowser
window, such as XBAPs, Silverlight controls
(its HTMLBridge is fundamentally defective) 
or even MS Office documents. It should also
support events. Since DM2003 cannot be 
aggregated, it was decided to make a proxy
ActiveX with IDMDLLHelper which expose
IDMApplication3 and an event wrapper. See
also [SLHelper_tests] for implementation.

QA0103022009

 LabelDlg in Large font mode.
ListView has incorrect size and position!

QA0102022009

 Plot Printing - X axis.
Sometimes X axis on printouts (and PDFs)
has wrong size and distorted. This is NOT
a library bug! The reason in DM2003 - 
if user opens Page Setup and Print Setup
dialogs before printing, all is OK.
BTW, sometimes printing just not launched
if these dialogs weren't previously 
displayed! User doesn't have to change
anything; just show these dialogs!
The same error on any system, including
Acrobat 4 on Windows98.
========= 7.2.2009 =========
X axis bug still persists - problem is either 
in VCL or in printer drivers. On PDF, first 
printout almost always corrupted while all 
following ones are good. Margins problem 
(launching) solved in build 343.

QA0321012011

 Status text - file loading.
For large files, progress indication may
slow file loading significantly!

QA0124122010

 Labels and time axis bug.
How to reproduce - make a plot (e.g. by 
timeseries.htm sample), then draw arrow,
doubleclick to display dialog box and
press OK. Vertical coordinates will become
the same, and if the label is an ellipse, 
it will disappear. Problem seems to be
in too short coordinate formatting in
the dialog box. Use the same format as 
in the axis dialog?
======= 20:19 23.01.2011 ===========
Yes, the reson was in this. Also another 
error was fixed (ScaleX not processed in
PinComboBoxChange), and new error found.

QA0120122010

 Performance improvement.
There is an idea how to make DM2003
much better as a local server.
See QA 0120122010_test.htm for details.
== 21.12.2010 ==
The same problem may affect plot series
(OnDataPoint event handlers), now we rely
upon series cache to improve performance.

QA0109072010

 Series caching bug. If 
cached data series was edited by Plot
Editor or Translation tools, changes are
not displayed! see cache_QA0109072010.vbs.
Moreover, this is true for all changes 
of data, e.g. any operation! Clear cache
in TDataForm.ContainerChanged also?
========== 2:54 30.01.2011 =========
It was decided that all InvalidateCache 
should be called in event handler, except
TSerie.AddPoint! because it's better to 
centralize all (re)actions for data changes.
Indeed, in Plot.DeletePoint and other 
places where points are deleted, we do NOT 
invalidate plot! So this behavior is more
or less consistent.

QA0126122010

 PlotPointClick event handler.
Again! if client is attached as localserver
handlers in providers are not invoked (and
plot tools do not work). This is true even
if client is NOT attached to the events!
The reason: in a situation when 
SinkList.Count=0 result=false!

QA0115072009

 Printing bug. If dashed
line is printed, it become solid!
Of course because its width>1. But
when printed from WinWord, it remains
dashed, but the dash size changed
===== 3:18 15.02.2011 =====
Solution almost found?! see test
[test\dash_QA_0115072009] - the same
trick as with vertical fonts. Warning!
Here may be the same problem as with 
troubles with vert. fonts and clipboard
(greek letters are not copied).
Also, this problem observed with 
fill pattern which become inadequate!

QA0207032009

 Incorrect form scaling 
in large fonts mode (no scaling!).
======== 2:36 04.04.2012 =========
In addition to setting Scale=true,
one needs to use AlignClient=true
in DefDMPropertySheetDlgProc. Also,
I have to align by hands the toolbar 
control in TDataDForm. DM2003 also 
have to be corrected.

QA0423022011

 Desktop thumbnails.
It would be useful (and relatively easy to do) 
to save small desktop picture (say 320*240) in
the desktop file. This behavior may depend on 
Server.Options boolean flag. Thumbnail may be
shown on a separate property page (if available),
also it may be returned as a picture in proppage
dispinterface (warning! here may be the same COM
+CreateObject() troubles!). Such thumbnails will
increase file size by 5-10 kB (in jpeg format)
which is acceptable. Also, a flag in AppOptions
should be made (Scripter page).

QA0105062010

 Command Import - delete ActionBarItem.
Although items deleted when action is deleted,
menus and separators cannot be deleted, and
empty menu will produce AV!
There are several problems: how to find item?
by caption, toolbar and root menu? how to do
this for context menus?
Probably this feature will apply ONLY on standard
(design-time) ActionBarItems, as well as in 
ImportCommandsAlways procedure, because it is
almost impossible to find item by position after
users change ActionBar layout. So that, it will
be useful to change standard functionality, not
for uninstallation of user actions.
Also, we will again need to call it twice: first
from ImportCommands (menu, no config!) and second
from ImportCommandsAlways (context menus).

QA0118032011

 Rectangle Label - paste picture.
It was discovered that label can't paste
bitmaps (this is by design!). However,
bitmap may be copied into WMF by Paint
and futher pasted as WMF. Is it possible
to paste BMPs directly?!

QA0231102011

 Scripts item should be removed 
from the Open/Save dialogs filters in mainform.
===== 17:24 09.04.2012 =======
Also, those filters should include data file
extensions for which proppage is configured.
There's no good idea however how to implement
this feature - since it takes time to read the
list of associated files and filter correction
cannot be performed at startup. Probably one 
can remember filter in registry, and this 
value may be changed in appropsform.
=== 18:17 13.04.2012 ===
All done. I have to change both DM2003 code 
and the scripts (the most of changes in the
databrowser, also it was decided to WRITE
filter option in masterscript, but it can't be
READ there).

QA0112052011

 PlotLabel WMF images take too
much space in DMWs if something other than
vector graphics is in the label image - 
because pixel graphics stored in WMFs as
a bitmap. Maybe, make a published Picture
property?! and use that property to define
background for rectangular labels? Current
implementation is good only for plot insets,
small icons and gradient fills. This adds
5-10 kBytes ~ empty window size (6kB).
Also, Alignment property should be used,
and image must be painted more accurately,
accounting 1px gaps between image and frame.

QA0604052011

 Migration - change all fonts in 
all forms to the Unicode font as in demos
======= 06.05.2011 ============
Almost all done. Exceptions are:
Splash itself (??); Reopen Menu button on Toolbar
(probably default Tahoma font is used), DateTime 
Help labels in Axis and Worksheet properties dialogs 
are without underline (???). MsgBoxes seem to use
Unicode-supported system font.
====== 20.06.2011 ========
If a series has Unicode symbols in Text, [+] tool
(Scroller) will display squares in Status Line!
Which seems to be missed!!! so that Unicode 
messages and hints will be unavailable!
=== 3:11 22.01.2012 ===
Graphics.DefFontData - instead of fixups?!!

QA0103052011

 Unicode - merge test1 into trunk,
compile and check for more problems.
NOTE!!! all changes must be compatible
with Delphi7 environment.

QA0104052011

 Migration - wrong splash 
screen animation size
==== 1:59 06.05.2011 ======
VCL poScreenCenter implementation changed

QA0904052011

 Migration - change signatures
for desktop and configuration files.
======= 06.05.2011 ============
Both changed, now unicode-enabled 
desktops may be written (but not read
by old ANSI version).

QA0105052011

 Migration - main coolbar bands
do not remember its position in config.bin!
===== 3:31 07.05.2011 =====
Probably some changes in VCL...

QA0108052011

 Migration - Help does not work!
====== 15:10 09.05.2011 ======
In fact, full migration assumes that NEW help
classes should be used instead of a patch unit.
However, this patch supports Unicode!

QA0107052011

 Migration - UseBalloonDisplayMessage
option seems do not work!
=== 2:04 09.05.2011 ===
Works, but balloon title displayed incorrectly!
The reason probably is Unicode.

QA0106052011

 Migration - When browser is shown,
(without page loading), its contents may
be not visible! and become visible only
after clicking by mouse.

QA0226042011

 COM DMLabel coclass - download
label image from web (only WMF/EMF?). 
Use appropriate method in MainWindow.
===== 22:57 30.04.2011 =====
In QA 0118032011 - see how it is possible
to download other types of files! Maybe,
make LoadFromStream method in TPlotLabel?
But this will result in dependence on large
format-specific units like jpeg, pngimage.
===== 03:15 10.05.2011 =====
Also: both files and URLs should be supported
(load files - created by PropPage!), URLs may
be important for web-based apps; new menu item
in Labels|More - load image for selected 
rectangle label - in masterscript/ExtraCommands.

QA0204052011

 Migration - problems with
DrawGrid, by default it has Themed
style. Probably style selection should
be added, also in the Properties dialog
a combobox for element's colors should 
be used instead of RG, with new items.
==== 10.05.2011 ====
Temporary fix applied - DrawingStyle set
in the TDataForm.FormCreate event handler.
Also in CoMain, doWorksheetProperties.

QA0113052012

 Incorrect browser size from HTML
style attribute! All HTML pages have no unit
specifier which become an error under MSIE9!
Also, other potential compatibility problems
should be addressed: see for example this page 
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh801218(v=vs.85)
Namely, DM2003 HTML code uses:
1) filters - in Welcome pages and rrr.htm
2) conditionals - databrowser, dm2003.htm
WARNING!!! everything should be corrected,
including samples, dm2003 and other pages!
Also, changes should be made in DMEditor.

QA0111052012

 Main menu bug with Aero interface theme.
When user expands personalized menu (by clicking
chevron button or otherwise), black rectangle 
flickers for a noticeable fraction of second!
This is very annoying. It was found that this
bug presents in both standard and XP menu styles
and even on DXE (where it is almost invisible
because redrawing is much faster). This bug 
disappears when menu shades are off. Interestingly,
it is not observed when popup menus are normally
appear (without personalization feature).

QA0106052012

 Progressbar sometimes freeze when 
DM2003 performs long enough operations (longer 
than several seconds). This is very disturbing 
because its purpose is to show that app still 
alive! It was guessed that the problem related 
to the overflow of message queue (when user 
moves mouse over app window). Investigation 
reveals that it is really so! See 
test\progress_freeze for more info.
Interestingly, this bug not exists for old
Windows9.x and W2K systems!
======== 1:18 11.05.2012 ========
It was found that on Windows7 (and Vista?!) a
fix in ContainerProgress (peekmessage) is NOT
sufficient!!! Anyway ghost appears and PB stops.
So that, it was decided to disable ghosting 
entirely. Also, other troubles were fixed:
a) animation on aero theme results in incorrect
pb position (latest changes not displayed)
b) pb becomes VERY slow and slow down operations
(on XP, it's fast enough and there's no problems)
===== 3:29 23.05.2012 ==========
QA open again!!! it seems that freezing may occur
when dmw (de)compressed for a long time because
it uses SPECIAL onprogress method!!!
== 18:44 23.05.2012 ==
seems done...

QA0220032010

 New online service - Advanced
Commands Installer! by visiting some
page user can install additional commands
(if DM2003 was installed in Typical config).
How about using online files? Is it desirable 
not to use them? In fact, it is required only
to place online installer page that checks 
whether actions are available, and a subset
of import.ini! which is imported only once 
into USER profile. On the page, remember that 
all instances of DM2003 must be closed. Also
HP spectrometer software should be published.

QA0114022010

 COM methods - Assign() for
series, axes and labels (and, may be,
ALL other objects?) - to copy all 
properties faster and more conveniently.
Also, Index r/o (r/w?) property for
series and labels. Picture property?
In addition: instead of Picture properties
for plot and label, make label.Assign(plot),
and label.Load(filename) member.

QA0117022009

 LegendDlg bug - if custom
legend text contains double quote, all tag 
processed incorrectly. Cure - just replace 
by 2 single quotes in input.

QA0116022010

 Docking - save positions.
When docked window is shown, its size
set to some calculated value to avoid 
errors. This behavior may be not convenient.
Better solution - to check whether 
saved value is correct!

QA0120012010

 Additional hdo's for modeless
dialogs. It was found that some patterns
of incorrect behaviour may be realized - 
see comments in modelessdialog.vbs sample.
Solution: just add more control on the
window title - no buttons or disable [x].
==== 30.05.2010 ====
Ok, done. BTW, all leaked dialogs anyway
will be killed by their Application owner on exit.

QA0108062010

 If COM client holds pointer
to a Label object, COM warning
message not displayed! Reason:
this just not checked...

QA0101032010

 Series Set_EnableGetPointEvent
calls Refresh, so that plot is updated 
many times if this property set in cycle.
Solution - call Invalidate instead!

QA0208062010

 XML workspace import/export.
There are 2 possibilities: make it in
VCL code (may be in load/save desktop
members, by file extension - dmwz) and
using COM members (dmwx). First method
allows to save exact copy of binary DMW,
but must be implemented in DM2003 and 
potentially less portable. Second method 
has 2 directions: a) in script - easiest
but less compact, depends on installed
ActiveX; b) in provider - 2 actions for
import/export, more compact because it
can use TLB, more portable. Both methods
however can't produce full equivalent of
the DMWs. In addition to MergeDMWNotes
new OpenSaveFilter option should be made
for better user experience.
======== 1:19 24.02.2011 ============
Probably right version is a VCL-generated
compressed XML (as docx). How to check that 
all properties are saved: save, load, save
and compare two saves.
If not everything is saved, nobody will 
use this format - because binary is better.
If one needs some specific XML export, it is
already possible to implement via COM.
Also: make special DMW->XML convertor utility?

QA0131052008

 Balloon - what if it is
displayed when MainWnd (and picture) is
below other window? 
See Balloon_background_test.htm
==== 23:50 31.05.2008 ====
problem seems to be solved

QA0115062010

 Windows7 bug - creeping coolbar
bands in main window! it seems that
Luna implementation of comctl32 had 
a bug fixed in Aero.
==== 14:46 18.06.2010 ======
Yes, the same bug observed under
Aero in Vista (6.0.6000.??). Also,
it is in the DMEditor main window!

QA0215062010

 Windows7 bug - System Error 87
on exit (incorrect parameter). Using
debug DCUs and remote debugging allows
to localize an error (again comctl32).
There's no this bug under Vista.

QA0104052009

 Plot Legend - axis state.
Sometimes it may be preferred not to show
axis state lines (and maybe main line too!).
How to implement this feature? Conditional
compilation isn't good. Better is to modify
legend tag! for example, adding ',-1=' into
legend tag contents may serve as additional
flag. This method however works only if 
custom legend is used. Another ability is
to change both dmplot.pas and DMHTMLText.pas
by adding special control tag.

QA0122072009

 Labels again. It may
be useful to hide frame around rectangle
label containing WMF! because this frame
never exist when we make insets for plot.
Also rounded rectangle - to do?
=======================
This is a part of more general problem:
we must provide access (UI and COM!) to
pen and brush - not only Visible and
Transparent, but setting psClear/bsClear.
This will solve the problem. Transparency
will become obsolete!

QA0212072009

 Series properties dialog -
small button that inserts associated
column label (from the columns list!)
into the Text field. Very useful.
=== 14.07.2009 ===
No! combos filled with HTML2Texted
values. Find worksheet, or...?!
WARNING: combos filled separately, so
we must not assume about their contents.

QA0215032009

 Change registry key for metaBase
class object! see scripts for details.

QA0112072009

 New label type (or function
of square label): display metafile! But
how to add metafile? via PasteFromClipboard!
If clipboard contains metafile, label 
creates and assigns it. This may be
useful for inserts on complex plots.
The size of WMF adjusted to the label
size, WMF cannot be deleted (but can
be replaced with another one).
=== 16:50 21.07.2009 ===
To remember picture, published property
must be added to all label types! BTW,
all labels may display this graphic -
as a background? Also RoundRect label
type may be added. Also, this property
may reference TPlot - so inserts may 
be made easily with live update?
More consistent solution however will
be to keep picture (WMF only) private
and draw it only for rectangle label

QA0201032009

 PlotPointClick event bug.
If DM2003 invoked as out-of-process 
server (Exp.exe, vb_event.htm) with 
event support, all tools based on 
PlotPointClick stop working! because
if no handler, TDMApplication.PlotPointClick
returns false and stops event processing in
TDataForm.PlotPointClick.
======= 1:56 02.03.2009 ======
In fact, behaviour of Exp.exe, vb_event.htm
is OK! But .Net apps always fails. New 
version may affect ONLY multiple events
for same object, e.g. several providers.

QA0114032009

 Out of buffer in ShowHelp.
Reason: if file path transmitted, and both
path and help file are too long, MAX_PATH
may be not sufficient! Test: MPMS Import
wizard Help, while DM2003 and help are in
[...DM2003ProviderClassLibraryCS\bin\Debug]

QA0128072009

 Labels scaling problem.
When axis expression is assigned, label
coordinates are not affected, so labels
may disappear. This behaviour is not
consistent with series behaviour.
However, labels used as additional
axis elements must not be scaled!
Also, we have to make new method 
like Plot.OnGetPoint to parse expression
===== 15:46 30.07.2009 =====
In fact, there may be situations 
when label should be scaled together
with axis and together with series!
The latter can use Plot.OnGetPoint
(although its implementation must 
be changed). Certainly, there should
be new flag or scaling mode. Also,
Page mode may be added (like Frame,
but using whole plot size).

QA0115082009

 Z order (series, areas, labels).
now we can only determine whether areas
painted just before their series or 
before ALL series. However, other modes
can be considered - for example, series
above or below labels, may be individually -
each label have appropriate flag. Or, the plot
may have special property.

QA0108092009

 Installer - modified registry settings.
Now, we have to provide newuser.reg that may be NOT
processed by users. This is not good! We MUST do
it automatically. The best way is NOT to check 
individual parameters where they are used, but just
copy installer-configured ones from HKLM to HKU
if no appropriate entries exist. This check should
be performed at startup, just before reading registry.
This feature especially necessary for custom setups
like test one without scripter.dll

QA0108022009

 Command import - toolbars.
Since in Notes, Browser and Series Manager 
toolbars have the same name (ActionToolBar), 
it's impossible to import items! They always
added into Browser..
=== also added new functionality (add items
to popup menus, delete/replace actions).

QA0217092009

ctodo : IDMApplicationEvents - Reopen files.
Вместо того, чтобы экспонировать "список" - коллекцию
последних открытых файлов - что довольно бессмысленно,
поскольку для Reopen все равно используется нестандартная
Action - можно вместо этого генерировать событие в 
TMainForm.LoadFile при клике Reopen Action и открытии
файлов из командной строки. Таким образом, параллельный 
код из dm2003 и masterscript удастся убрать, заодно 
решив известную проблему ШАБЛОНОВ файлов данных!!!
=== ?? Вопрос: как быть с d'n'd - надо передавать 
target window в параметре ?? ===
========= 18.09.2009 ====================
Solution: not LoadFile but LoadDataFile!

QA0109092008

 AppPropsDlg - merge DMW Notes.
New flag in dialog (along with CheckPaths, 
and others...). If true, notes from DMW 
is appended to Notes editor instead of 
replacing all existing text. No warning 
message!
====== 13:50 18.10.2008 ======
This feature could be implemented at script 
level! But it requires d'n'd and cmd line 
handling - since at present we can only
trap File Open calls.

QA0315092009

ctodo : TDMWebBrowser.FireEventHandler
does not return changes of Arguments!
This is critical for PlotGetPoint event.
Also in DM2003 FireHTMLDialogEvent function
in unit BrwsrDlg does not return result!
=========================================
Changed version of DMWebBrowser unit doesn't
work! But the solution exists - see details in 
[FireEventHandler-QA0315092009\dmevents_wb_2].

QA0115092009

cbug :
Errors in TDataForm.SetViewState
the problem is that the code tries to 
focus invisible windows. Just fixed.

QA0117092009

ctodo : New hardcoded Action - Offline!
Поскольку из браузера есть доступ только R/O,
предлагается закодировать в MainWnd.pas. Можно,
конечно, вызывать DLLHelper, но это не очень
удобно. А нужно это поскольку в программе почти
все файлы можно читать из инета!
======= 3:05 10.05.2008 ==========
NO!!! NEW IDMApp3 property instead!!!

QA0127052009

 COM - property BrushType: enum 
for hatched background of labels and series 
(areas and symbols) - IDMLabel2, IDMSerie3.
This property allow to make BW printouts.

QA0404092008

 COM - DMAxis.InnerTicks

QA0304092008

 COM - DMPlot - New props.
r/w boolean wrappers of TPlot.AreaSeries (ClipPoints?)
and TPlot.AutoScaleLabels properties.

QA0102092008

 COM - New label features.
4 PinModeXX and Transparent r/w properties, new
constants in labelkind enumeration, new pinmode 
enumeration.
======= 20:06 18.01.2009 ===========
Maybe we should include into pinmode 
enumeration code for secondary axis?

QA0211082008

 COM - Linked axis feature.
R/w property IDMAxis3.IsLinked - just VCL wrapper.

cbug : DMMajorVersion=3 - change value in 
TLB, Scripter and DMEditor (CC) - troubles.txt

QA0221092009

cbug : CommandImport - items in popup
menus don't work if linked to user
actions! The reason is trivial: first, the 
code was checked when ImportCommandsAlways 
was called after ImportCommands. But there
was a problem with coolbands position, and
anyway the best moment for delete/replace 
design-time actions is before ImportCommands. 
However, as a side effect, this change results
in this new bug!

QA0113092008

 Legend label - include
individual series feature. It will allow 
to make different legends, such as showing 
only data series but not fits or imitate 
multi - column legends. How to: new property
- Series: string, which contains comma-delimited
numbers of series. Much better approach - not
to make new legend-specific property and use
specially formatted Text instead: for such
formatted text, it is interpreted as legend
series order, and text not displayed. Special 
button and visual order editor in properties
dialog box also would be useful! Also we could
place series order string between special
tags and manually remove this portion of text,
while the rest of text rendered as usual!!!
=== 2:02 14.10.2008 ===
See legend_QA0113092008.dmw

QA0110092008

 ErrorBars - zero value.
Zero value may be used as an indicator
that error bar should NOT be displayed.
This feature make simpler data arrays,
because we will be able to have several 
independently displayed error columns
in one window
=== 2:02 14.10.2008 ===
See zero_errbar_QA0110092008.dmw

QA0101112009

 New COM Event - OnStart.
In this handler all code for displaying
Welcome page at startup may be moved from
Delphi code. Also any initializations that
require already loaded UI (including user actions)
may be placed here, such as enabling commands
that have no OnUpdate and may be disabled.

QA0201112009

 ActionBands - disabling
actions. Following experiment can be made:
1) make script with error (next 3 lines)
dim aaaa
aaaa=0
aaaa=1/aaaa
2) make a file (1.vbs) and add it as user script,
make a copy of config.bin!
3) run DM2003 and CONTINUE! (ignore error in splash)
all commands defined in masterscript will be 
unavailable
4) delete file 1.vbs (and user script) and
run DM2003 again. 
ShowMonitorAction and all linked UI items will
be disabled!!! the only remedy is to delete
action and create it again by hands. This bug
observed for ALL actions without OnUpdate handler.
======= 20:33 22.05.2006 ======
The reason is in TDMUserAction.UpdateTarget: if 
action not exists, it is disabled and this state 
remembered in config.bin; later, when error fixed,
it cannot be enabled since there's no OnUpdate.
At the moment, there's no good solution because 
UpdateTarget behavior is correct.
======= 13:41 01.11.2009 =======
THERE IS a solution!!! in script editor, run
Server.IsCommandEnabled("ShowMonitorUserAction")=true
and the action will be enabled again!!!
We should place such code in OnStart event handler.
======= 22:40 05.12.2009 =======
Ok. BUT! the troubles only with USER actions!!

QA0223102009

 Command import improvement.
Now we have ImportCommands and 
ImportCommandsOnce keys, and if 
no config.bin, both processed!
However, if we adding commands by
page-installer and config.bin recreated,
vbs processed while UI - not! It
would be useful to allow to add similar
entries in both keys, so that new
items may be added after config 
created AND re-created! So we can
consider to disable processing 
of ImportCommandsOnce if NO config.bin
file found.

QA0102112009

 Arrow label - Text alignment.
It would be useful to have ability to
change text position (now text is 
centered in relation to point)

QA0123102009

 New COM method - Close.
It was discovered (autotest.htm) that
it's impossible to terminate DM2003 from 
external process without COM warning.
So that, the reason for App.Close is 
the same as for Doc.Close

QA0122112009

 Plot point caching.
In fact, both normal and functional series 
may be cached! however, caching data series 
require additional support from higher level 
software. By contrast, functional series 
caching needs modification only for series.
We can propose following interface:
* TSerie.IsCached: bool r/w
If true, series use caching. by default, 
false; set to true when IsFunction set to true.
* TSerie.InvalidateCache() - sub w/o par.
just clears cache (mostly internally, 
from prop setters), also may be called 
when data are changed for data series
Private fields - cache pointer (dynarray) 
and size (int, 0 means empty)
Cache may be float - with min changes in code, 
and integer - which involves almost all 
propsetters. The latter takes less memory 
and painted faster. Code may be simplified 
because we have common method for changing 
(updating) plot invoked by all propsetters.
==== 12:10 23.11.2009 ====
It was realized that float-to-int
conversion is much more quick than
painting itself. Also int = 4 bytes
vs float = 10 bytes - not so much, and
3 additional issues to be concerned:
a) this feature required for functional
series and b) implementation does not
depend on series type and c) we should NOT
expose new COM members since it may break
existing code and makes code overcomplicated. 
In summary: implement for both series types,
but cache is float, and code changes are
only in TSerie object

QA0222112009

 COM - plot point caching.
Published property may be a member of
interface. Also it may be set as a 
side effect in COM setter for functional
series, to improve existing code without
any changes

QA0131122008

 Rich text in DAQ wizard.
We could define formatting in column captions.
In this case we could opt to exclude this
formatting in Templates (for Expsettings).
Also UI in DAQ wizard should be slightly
modified to enable convenient enter html.

 NewDlg in Large font mode.
ListView has incorrect size and position!

 XML syntax highlighter - for XML
desktop/data files, applets, etc?

QA0620022011

 Code completion and proposal
=== 13.06.06 ===
By this moment some hardcoded version was made with
fixed identifier tables. Of course, it is very useful, 
but one should wish much more... see help on CC unit
in the dmeditor.mpb ModelMaker project.
====== 2:37 20.02.2011 =================
Today, it was decided to add processing 
of variables explicitly marked as objects.
At least, in VB (as comments). Also, may be 
HTML objects (IDs) may be processed?
====== 3:04 23.02.2011 =================
Now CC unit almost completely rewritten.
Although it is not a true IntelliSense,
it is good enough and hardly can be improved
without further substantial efforts.

QA0101032009

 Provider interface bug.
Because Action parameters in 
IDMActionProvider interface 
were declared as variant, Delphi
used non-standard pascal string
variants. As a result, .Net marshaller
was unable to process such parameters.
Declaration changed to OleVariant, so 
in DM2003 (DMUserAction.pas) string 
assignments forced to BSTR variants.

QA0218032011

 Digitizer - remember state.
It would be useful if there are several series
on the plot to be digitized, so that user does
not have to define frame and coordinates again.
However, while it is possible to remember 
coordinates, frame position requires additional
COM properties! (as Plot.MarginXXX). Also 
Picture property may be added.
There is another solution - just make it 
modeless as Epsilon.htm in applets! This
behavior may be by special flag in AppOptions.
-----
Also support for other picture formats may be
added to the component (w/o interface changes)

QA0129112009

 ActiveXs from DMForms cause
MSIE crash! While running in DM2003 and
CHM correctly. MSIE crashes with Runtime
Error 217 message. It was observed on 
both SM (IE6) and USN27 (IE8) machines.
Possible reason: DMForms TLB references
DM2003 TLB version 2.0!!!!!
== 1:14 30.11.2009 ==
OK as tested on SM machine. But changing
version is a real trick - because project
can't be loaded in D7 IDE! so I have to 
register old dm2003.exe, change used tlib,
repair affected elements, save... But finally
one-byte change was made by HxD hex editor!

QA0107062009

 LM minimal point number.
In LMFit.pas, minimal point number seems

 Zoom in\out with modifiers. If
user holds ctrl or shift to select whole
range on x/y axis, the scale slightly
changes! This is most easily detected in 
Normal ticks mode. The reason is obvious -
selection area is 1 pixel greater!

QA0207012010

 Label text orientation 
incorrectly saved in DMWs. If a text label
saved in DMW with topleft orientation, it
will obtain centered orientation after load!

 Leader is not visible if
it is outside axis frame, but Clipping
is OFF (and points are visible!)

QA0114062009

 Point editor - change only
one coordinate when holding Shift or Alt 
in the same manner as for Zoom. Frequently 
user needs to move only one coordinate

QA0104092009

 Cursors - if label moving or
translation prohibited by expressions, cursor 
must be changed. Also it's better to display
messagebox instead of OnError for labels.
=== 18:46 10.01.2010 ===
The latter is done (only for MouseDown!).
In setters we must use OnError, otherwise
several messageboxes may appear as a result
of script or dialog box settings.

QA0107012010

 Axis properties dialog box.
a) open plot with new window, then display
properties for X2 axis. b) Set axis visible
and linked. Grid checkbox will be disabled
(after linked=true). c) Then click Show labels
checkbox - Grid checkbox will be ENabled!!
This error also was found in build 343.

QA0218102008

 Worksheet Expression Copy.
When Worksheet copies cells, it copies
both text and TRealData. We could copy
data transformed by expressions.
This, however, may conflict with 
format - since we copy item's text 
instead of formatted text...
NO!!! formatted text copied!!!

QA0118092008

 Adjustable tick size.
Visually (like margin) - may be not 
convenient; alternative - in Properties 
dialog box! However, AutoMargin may 
affect this property as well.
====== 3:43 12.01.2009 ======
It was decided that plot automargin is
not appropriate to control this feature.
Really, it is set in dialog, not visually.
This is similar to label margins, 
calculated by font size.

QA0117062008

 Plot Margins and label positions.
Налицо некая несогласованность... у меток есть 
относительные (в %) и абсолютные (float) координаты,
хотя правильнее было бы давать пользователю 
возможность выбирать. С Margins хуже: 
абсолютные координаты в точках работают очень плохо
при изменении размера графика - их можно использовать
только как Margins (а может, так и надо?) Или же 
в качестве выбора для меток - целые абсолютные 
координаты. Важно, чтобы при изменении размеров 
графика (например для печати) компоненты "правильно"
смещались друг относительно друга
=== 14:01 17.06.2008 ===
У каждой координаты (или точки - одной из двух?)
будет один из режимов: (а) float координата соотв.
оси (б) процент от графика (в) целое margin относит.
выбранной оси. Это + 2(4) свойства. Совместно с
QA0106062008 (Margins графика и подписей осей)
это позволит делать спецграфики. Да, чуть не 
забыл: для привязки к целочисленным координатам 
ОСИ надо еще один режим в случае Automargin 
графика, когда margin оси не определен.
Дополнительные типы меток: линия - то же что и 
стрелка, но без стрелки и текста; в отличие от 
серии, позволяет привязку к integer координатам 
элемента графика; окружность - то же самое, одна
координата - центр, другая - радиус? нужна для 
в основном для полярных графиков. Это будет 
просто еще 2 простых типа меток. Навороченное 
рисование объектов НЕ нужно, поскольку рисунки
можно и НУЖНО готовить другим пакетом. Можно 
рассмотреть метку типа метафайл, со свойством
IPicture для СОМ объекта.
Width и Height у меток НЕ БУДЕТ!!

QA0117102008

 Plot label bug.
If text label contains ONLY legend tags,
'label text undefined' will be not displayed!
This is because this text removed by 
HTMLTextOut, while test in Paint() not passed.
==== 14:27 17.10.2008 ====
Notice that 'empty' labels may created in 
earlier versions! e.g. legend with space or
CRLF, or just blank...

 Axis with ticks and without
labels: such feature needed for 2-panel 
plots, where axes have similar scale and
title. New VCL (and COM) property, and
a good work in TAxis.Paint

QA0106062008

 Margins support.
Now only one option - plot mode - is available.
1) in this mode users can move axis titles in
addition to plot frame. However, title has NO
absolute position like margin - by moving it,
user set integer distance between title and axis,
and something (?) along the axis
2) how to remember: new axis props? stored 
if some function (plot automargin) return true?
Is this required for compatibility?
3) COM support: only Automargin property, or
full set of margins?
4) make 'advanced' actions for plot mode 
and automargins flag!

QA0102082008

 Leader property.
We don't need TPlot.MoveLeader: boolean or move

It was decided that Visible property
must affect Areas for more consistency.

QA0127112009

 Axis Grid lines attributes.
It may be useful to add special 
pen for drawing axis grid lines

QA0105122009

 Axis Grid lines bug.
If grid line differs from axis line,
it may be painted OVER axis, so that
plot will look like strange!
===== 20:32 17.02.2011 =====
Finally fixed in build after 394!

QA0109032009

 PropServ dispatching error 
in Delphi code (see proppageautotest.dpr).
Scripts work fine! The reason is that Delphi
calls method while scripting engine - property.

QA0115032009

 Metabase dispatch object returns
description for description file itself!

QA0122072008

 Scrollbars in Sample Properties
dialog box!!! why absent? all memos should have
the same style and behavior

QA0127012009

 JPEGs in Sample Properties
dialog box!!! since we use webcam for images,
24bpp pictures are too inefficient (large files).
Just add jpeg unit.

QA0403022009

 JPEG support (PropSmpl.pas)
Online jpegs not loaded!!! see example test:
http://www.datamaster2003.com/temp/t.dat

QA0109012011

 Support for GIF images in sample
properties dialog. See readme in test/IPicture.
GIFs may be downloaded as well. Also it is
possible to add image acquisition from
web camera (WIA services).

QA0101022011

 Get Image Wizard - if used, 
DM2003 process locked! This
is probably COM-related bug.
No problems with other hosts.
====== 22:55 06.02.2011 =====
Problem solved by replacing
Automation by plain COM. However,
this bug still may be observed.

QA0201022011

 Get Image Wizard - help article
and correct HelpFile in PropImgW.dfm

QA0101042012

 If property pages are displayed for
a file with insufficient access rights (or
description file exists but inaccessible),
property page handler crashes. This is 
applicable for all property pages. How to
reproduce: copy data, description and dmw
file, disable access for Users group and
test. What to do: as well as system Details
page, on initialization, we should check 
access and just ignore file with troubles!
======== 2:40 04.04.2012 ===============
The problem was more or less solved. Now
it is tested whether file handle is accessible
before other operations, and if no, no pages
are displayed (as for other system proppages).
However, if unaccessible file is the FIRST 
one for which host application creates property
page, the host will be destroyed. The reason is
known - unlike normal case when proppage.dll
captured in memory after first use and until
host is alive, failed first use results in
premature releasing COM server and immediate
death of the server hosting app. Maybe this
situation may be avoided by returning some
special result code, or otherwise.

QA0120032011

 PNG support in Get Image Wizard
and Sample Properties dialog. The latter
requires more than adding uses pngimage
because of downloading issues.

QA0126032011

 GIF and PNG support on W9.x fails!
==== 20:14 27.03.2011 ====
It was determined that the origin of bug
is PNG Delphi code, while GIFs are OK.

QA0110052011

 PropSmpl - probably EMF image can't
be downloaded (add EMF extension check).

QA0206052012

 (De)compression progress form is NOT
modal! As a result, user can, for example, 
to activate property page dialog and click
other controls. This is very inconsistent.
=== 1:46 09.05.2012 ===
Very simple and straightforward solution
found (although not 100% perfect), 
comparing to test\progress_modal.

QA0129052012

 PropImgC.dfm + large font mode =
clutter! Buttons become invisible - beyond
form boundary, and cannot be clicked.

QA0208092009

 Installer - replace newuser.reg.
we should first read settings from HKLM, 
then from HKU - both PAS and scripts!!!
===== 06.01.2010 =====
All done but Objects and InitLibraryName.
First needs too much code changes and
hardly will be used in installers; second 
just not interesting either.

QA0120122008

 nlsf.htm - copy axes tickmode.
Since now (QA0130072008) functional series 
have log base, we can directly fit curves
with log-x axis (and y too!)
=== 1:57 28.01.2009 ===
Also linearfit.htm and linearfit.htm2 modified

QA0118012011

 Bug in masterscript (DiffSmooth).
The script works bad if X is a date time!
However, correct version was already created
(see scripts in [generator\input\] folder).

QA0118022011

 Paste action bug - the command does 
not work for WMF in some combination of
Ins/Owr and App Options flags.

QA0130032012

 Notes SaveAs always append
DescExtension to filename, as in case of DMW. In
result, it's impossible to save file with other
extension, which may be useful (unlike DMW case).
Solution - obvious: just remove the check.

QA0503022009

 Window list improvements.
Now window list become inconvenient if 
number of windows become greater than 
a dozen, and/or windows have long titles.
Variable-size list required. Also, this 
dialog should contain buttons for some 
actions - namely, set all windows in some
state, or contrarily, minimize or restore
windows with some state, or windows that 
have nonempty series. GLY dmws may be 
used as examples

QA0103052010

 Fitters bug - NLSF and maybe
others. To fill weight column, active doc's
worksheet is used instead of that of current
(fitting) series! Wrong if series references
data from another window.

QA0214062008

 Rich text - COM support.
We must add func HTML2Text(str):str (see 
idmxxx3.txt for details). Then, we must
update Plot Data Wizard, NLSF Fitter Tool,
Multi-X NLSF Tool, Scroller Tool.
Updates are: (a) combos (BTW, we should
also upgrade nlsf.htm for par. indices
and width, as nlsf2!) (b) !!! fitting
results saved in Notes (c) add results
in the label?

QA0216062010

 Run some tool (e.g. Linear Fitter) from link at
Sources page, when no data windows. Then
create new window and close it. You will get
a beep and error message.

QA0209072010

 We could consider using Insert
flag on Series operations - Paste in plot 
and Series Mgr (and d'n'd in Delphi code?).
========= 22:55 10.05.2008 =============
WARNING: if no series and labels, but plot.canpaste=true,
we can't know what object is on clipboard! And we can't
control pasteaction_update for seriesmgr...
If we would add labels.canpaste, we can define whether
series on clipboard if plot.canpaste=true and
labels.canpaste=false (unless we add new type of 
objects!!!) Another solution - add canpaste method to
application with parameters - type of requested object.
======== 15:43 09.07.2010 =============
Now, Server.CanPaste allows to determine the object.
Also, it is required to make an option (or two?) in
the AppProperties dialog box, unchecked by default.

QA0112122010

 Bug in masterscript (line 1105).
If no window and additional commands installed, 
Paste Range command added to main menu. As a 
result, error displayed in status bar if no 
data windows are opened when Series submenu 
is opened, because OnUpdate does not check 
whether data window is available. Series Mgr 
must be active window !!!
Solution: just add this check.

QA0125022010

 New coclass - implements levmar code (BC!).
It is important to retain compatibility
between both objects in order to simplify
client code and allow to choose objects.

QA0127022010

 levmar - event support. Progress event
and function/derivative events. It seems 
that new event interface should be introduced,
as well as new enum for event handling mode.
Maybe OnProgress should be called from user 
function, it should check whether parameters 
are changed and call event if yes. Also new
events must be as compatible as possible.
=== No! ===
We should support X variable as in old case.
Otherwise we'll need global X because unlike
math problems, real-world problems are Y(X)
functions fitting.

QA0227022010

 levmar - ability to fix parameters.
Maximum compatibility is a primary requirement.
From user code, there should be no differences 
between old and new component.

QA0327022010

 levmar - String expression support.
Just add wrapper.pas and new fitting function.

QA0427022010

 levmar - implement BC.
Probably the best place to pass box constraints 
is a Sigmas property! together with parameter
fix flags. Maybe also additional option should
be considered for explicit mode selection.
Other constraints modes also may be added.

QA0527022010

 levmar - Weighting! It was noted 
in levmar code docs that weighting 
may be implemented externally.

QA0106052010

ctodo : levmar - process zero Delta option 
as in DMFitter, by replacing with default. 
Also, opts[] cannot be set to 0!!

QA0101052010

 levmar - in the release version
BCB library w/o dependencies and applet for
DM2003 should be made. After these 2 items,
it may be included into DM2003 setup.
