Hello Fred,

Strange also that there's the attempt to use a _component_ that isn't
provided by the component library. and not even requested from the .mfm
file, I think. And there's the explicit request for a BGRAbitmap from a
compiler conditional that came with the original code.

Not exactly, but I _always_ did a full recompile, after cleaning out all the
generated .o and .ppu files from the project. Shouldn't this be equivalent
to using the "-B" compiler switch?

I know, and there's the other "issue" of the compiler recompiling the same
units over and over even after minor modifications that don't affect those.
But... today's machines (even though mine is several years old already) are
fast enough to not be much of an obstacle with that...
Well, I'll put that aside for now, as I found a couple of other errors and
problems with the msefiledialogx, some of which at least I did introduce
myself.

Happy computing!
