On browsing through the code of
$FPCdir/packages/fcl-db/src/dbase/dbf.pas I came across the following
(line 20-22)
// If you got a compilation error here or asking for dsgnintf.pas, then
just add
// this file in your project:
// dsgnintf.pas in 'C: \Program
Files\Borland\Delphi5\Source\Toolsapi\dsgnintf.pas'
Should this be removed? Does it infringe copyright? Is it even useful?
Regards - Chris
