UNCONFIRMED errors or comments submitted by readers:


(31)  Declaration of CD1, CD2 in example 2-1;
CD1 and CD2 are delared as TAccount but the memory layout on the following page is
for a class of TCertificateOfDeposit. The example also shows calling the constructor
for TCertificateOfDeposit.


{144}  In the second and third bullets under "Tips and Tricks" in the
AssertErrorProc section, "EAssertError" should be "EAssertionFailed."


{183}  Line 23 of the example under DLLProc Variable now reads:

	IsMultiThread := Count <= 1

This is incorrect.


{187}  The first bullet in the "Tips and Tricks" section under Dynamic 
Directive now reads:
	
	"...virtual methods are faster and take up less memory..."

Should read:

	"...virtual methods are faster but take up more memory..."

This is described correctly in the last paragraph on page 87.


[316]  Example of reintroduce;
The example seems to imply that the TSingleVector class extends the TVector 
class, but the declaration of TSingleVector does not mention TVector. Because 
of this, the reintroduce keyword in the definition of TSingleVector.Add is 
pointless.


{411}  The first bullet in the "Tips and Tricks" section under Virtual 
Directive now reads:
	
	"...virtual methods are faster and take up less memory..."

Should read:

	"...virtual methods are faster but take up more memory..."

This is described correctly in the last paragraph on page 87.


[425]  In Table 6-5, numbers 12 & 14 have the SysUtils Exception Classes 
transposed.  12 should be EStackOverflow and 14 should be EPrivilege.


(455)  The $M Compiler Directive might make a reference to the $TypeInfo 
Directive (on page 467), since it is $M+ or $M-.  Just a suggestion.
