   Not yet. It'll be part of GUPP 1.0.7 when that's released (Delphi
paying customers will get first shot, as usual). I've got a few quirks
in Pointless (dying when corrupted fonts fed to it) I'd like to fix
also.

   Just one is sufficient. In more detail has already been done on
Delphi's a2pro areas, but my summaries earlier of the bug should have
been enough: the OS mistakenly dumps toolsets from RAM at app exit if
the current TSPtr is not the default. How to fix is left as an
exercise for the reader.
