As long as we're still kicking the history around....

I saw a posting saying New and Dispose were added in version 3.0.  Not
true.  I thought I remembered using them in 2.0 in college; so, I pulled
out my TP version 2.0 reference manual ( remeber when there was only ONE
250+ page manual? ) and found the references to New and Dispose right
next to Mark and Release.  I hate Mark and Release.  Only good use I ever
found for them was throwing an entire Binary tree away at the end of a
program :-).  Anyway, that was so long ago I had to look it up to be sure
my memory was right - This is not a flame! :-)
