Hi George,

  I've fixed the bug over the weekend. I was a problem in TArray::ReadArray()
and WriteArray() where I forgot to take the new bytecount into account (it
only affects situations where objects contain a pointer to a TArrayX.
Containment
and inheritance work fine).

We plan to release end of the week a new version containing the fix. If you
really need it now I can mail it to you.

Cheers, Fons.


PS: yes, from next release onward we plan to have CVS online and then you
    just can update the fix.
