The Delphi Bug List
Note: These pages are out-dated. They are intended for use with
Delphi 1.0. There will be no update.
Note: Many of the bugs listed here (especially those related to
the Borland Database Engine) may be fixed in the 1.02 Borland Delphi Update.

Purpose Of This List:
This list is intended as a place where Borland Delphi developers
can find a list of all known problems
with the product. It is not intended to be a Borland bashing site.
I think Delphi is an excellent product,
but maybe it was rushed to market just a bit. Well, that's marketing
not listening to the developers for
you.
Sections:
Installation
Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Integrated Debugger

I have decided to give in to requests from people to make The Delphi
Bug Lists available for
downloading again (in zipped form). The HTML files are zipped into:

(39,492 bytes; 31 May 1998) and various other files are in bugsrest.zip

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to commonly asked questions are compiled into FAQ's to
form a sort of public knowledge
base to which one can turn for assistance. Below are links to two
FAQ's that may be of interest to
Delphi users. The first, of course, is specific to Borland Delphi.
The second, however, refers to Borland
Pascal in general, addressing problems and questions related to
Borland's implementation of Pascal.
Since Delphi represents an extension of the Borland Pascal line
of compilers, this second FAQ may
prove to be of equal or greater interest to the first.

Borland Pascal FAQ (Jon Shemitz)
