I'm not sure what you mean by Drag 'N Drop.  Could you elaborate more?

Again, I not sure what you mean.

Hmm...  I have a look at it.  I pretty much just ported the code from L3Check to
Delphi.

I'm not getting this.  What version of Windows are you using?

By convention, we use initials only.  I feel that LDDP should follow this

This would be very hard to do.  I suggest WinMerge if you want this ability.

I don't think this is possible but I'll look into it.
