INSTALLING THIS UPDATE

You will need the original Delphi 8 installation media available to
install this update.

This is a self-executing update.  Double-click on the file to
begin the installation and follow the prompts.

During the update installation, you will receive the following
dialog, prompting you to overwrite your existing
bdpConnections.xml file:

   Setup has created a new  file based upon
   the drivers you have selected for installation. Do you want
   to overwrite the existing copy of  file
   with this one?

You should choose 'No' to preserve your existing connection
information.

NOTE: This update can not be removed after it is installed.

=======================================================

ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THIS UPDATE

This update resolves the following issues:
  
DEBUGGER

* Expressions that reference elements of multi-dimensional
  arrays  display a "cannot evaluate" error.

* Expressions of type set of enumerated values do not evaluate
  correctly.

* Expressions that reference the length of one-dimensional
  arrays display a "cannot evaluate" error.
  
COMPILER

* Converting a Variant to an AnsiString raises an
  InavlidCastException.

* Using Code Browsing (Ctrl+Click) repeatedly may cause an
  "Internal error: S3510."
 
* The compiler generates invalid XML documentation when you
  declare a type as an "array of [something]", which may result
  in "duplicate attribute" errors in the IE XML parser.
  
* Compiling a package twice results in an erroneous "unit name
  mismatch" message. 
  
* Changing the namespace prefixes section of the project options can 
  cause an infinite loop in the compiler and termination of the IDE.

* Typecasting a large Longword to an Int64 does not produce the 
  expected result.
  
* Canceling a compile may cause an access violation. 

* Under certain circumstances, the compiler issues the error
  "Bad packaged unit format" when attempting to produce dcpil
  files.
  
NOTE:  If persistent AVs occur when compiling packages, it may
       be necessary to delete  *.dcuil files generated from user
       source.
