{*********************************************************}

CHANGES in VCL 3.3 release:

- Added CALCOLOR.PAS
- Added SORTHDR.PAS
This is an unfinished unit; only included so Calmira will compile.

CHANGES in VCL 3.2 release:

- MISCUTIL.PAS:
Added FreeAndNil procedure
Moved ReplaceBitmapColors from Settings.pas
- FILES.PAS: Added DOS error constants
- STYLSPED.PAS: Added bsFlat & removed bsBitBtn style
- INTERNET.PAS: Added ReadServiceApplication method
- SCRLTREE.PAS: Added properties
- Included fixed VCL units (see notes):
- Buttons.dcu
- Dialogs.dcu
- Menus.dcu
- StdCtrls.dcu.

Notes:

The Calmira VCL contains some standard Delphi Compiled Unit (DCU)
files that contain some fixes and changes. You can use these with
other projects, but it is not required, though it is recommended
that they are used when (re)compiling Calmira.

These units are compatible with Delphi 1.0 and 1.01; they have not
been patched in the 1.01 VCL patch. I am not sure about 1.02, since
Borland never released the source code to the 1.02 VCL.

If you have the Calmira VCL directory in your library path, these
units are automatically used in your projects instead of the default
Delphi units.

* Menus.dcu:
- Fixed memory leak in TMainMenu.
* Buttons.dcu:
- Modified some color constants in DrawButtonFace,
bsNew button style appear as real Win95 buttons.
* Dialogs.dcu:
- Removed fsBold font style.
- Fixed default button appearence in InputQuery.
* StdCtrls.dcu: fixed two ownerdraw related bugs in TComboBox:
- DropDownCount is now calculated properly.
