Hi Thomas,
the copy ctor and assignment operators for all collections (except copy ctor
for TObjArray) have been made private to prevent accidenttal anbd erroreous
use of these operators. It would be very easy to waste huge amount of resources
by allowing collections to be passed by value or it could cause all kind of
multiple deletion or memory leak problems. To quickly and explicitely copy
a collection use TCollection::AddAll() for example.
Cheers, Fons.
