Well, I just got LSP 2.0 and sat back to peruse the manual and learn about all the
new features.  Imagine my surprise to discover the manual doesn't document most of
them.  No mention is made of HOW the Object Pascal extensions work - just syntax
diagrams and reference to a book on Object Pascal - in spite of the fact that the
rest of the language *is* covered in the Language Reference section.  Even worse,
the UNIV data type is mentioned twice and never explained at all - not even an
index entry!

I found an old copy of Structured Language World with enough Object Pascal info to
at least declare a class, but could someone tell me what the hell a UNIV is and how
I use it????  And when will the revised and corrected manual from Symantec will be
out?
