You have posted in the newsgroup for the old Borland C++ compiler.  There is
little in common between that compiler and Delphi.  The current compiler,
C++ Builder, has much in common with Delphi.  If you have C++ Builder then
it would be best to post in a C++ Builder newsgroup, a newsgroup containing
the word 'cppbuilder' so that those with knowledge of the product would see
your message.  My guess is that this group might be a good one for a message
such as yours:

  borland.public.cppbuilder.language.cpp
