Changes Common designtime features =
- New ILMDComponent interface, see intfLMDBase and LMDBase. Will be used to identify components to certain packages and to retrieve version number of a component at runtime.
- Only one About-Dialog for all controls (distinction will be made via ILMDComponent interface return values).
- All version number/date information for packages are stored now in LMDPackages.inc in LMDRTL folder. No more specific package inc files like LMDTools.inc etc.
- Only one component symbol file (LMDCPData.dcr can be found in \lmdshared folder)
- A new res file for all splash screens (LMDSplash.res in \lmdshared folder)
- C++ Builder files are created with Delphi Compiler and TLIB.exe conly.
