  $Log$
  Revision 1.1  2000-07-13 06:33:49  michael
  + Initial import

  Revision 1.10  2000/05/04 18:24:22  sg
  * Bugfixes: In some cases the DOM node tree was invalid
  * Simplifications
  * Minor optical improvements

  Revision 1.9  2000/02/13 10:03:31  sg
  * Hopefully final fix for TDOMDocument.DocumentElement:
    - Reading this property always delivers the first element in the document
    - Removed SetDocumentElement. Use "AppendChild" or one of the other
      generic methods for TDOMNode instead.

  Revision 1.8  2000/01/30 22:20:08  sg
  * TXMLConfig now frees its XML document (major memory leak...)

  Revision 1.7  2000/01/07 01:24:34  peter
    * updated copyright to 2000

  Revision 1.6  2000/01/06 01:20:37  peter
    * moved out of packages/ back to topdir

  Revision 1.1  2000/01/03 19:33:11  peter
    * moved to packages dir

  Revision 1.4  1999/12/22 13:38:01  sg
  * Lots of cosmetic changes (strings -> const AnsiStrings etc.)

  Revision 1.3  1999/07/25 16:24:13  michael
  + Fixes from Sebastiam Guenther - more error-proof

  Revision 1.2  1999/07/09 21:05:50  michael
  + fixes from Guenther Sebastian

  Revision 1.1  1999/07/09 08:35:09  michael
