Re: Changing process ID of TRefTable?

It is mostly due to the fact that the elements in the TRefArray really really need to shared the same ProcessId and the simplest way to enforce this was not to allow a change mid-stream.

An alternative, is to put, at the same place you would have put the 'change the pid' call, code like:

     fReferenceArray = TRefArray( other_pid );
