I'll check it out. It hasn't been a priority to get the entire SysTools 
library working in D2009+, since my early port works fine for us (for 
the apps that we have ported to D2009+, we only need a handful of the 
barcode components therefrom). But! I would love to have the entire 
library at my disposal, in D2009+ and for x-plat.

Officially it's written Szendre. My Hungarian ancestors pronounced it 
"sen-dre" (Hungarian can only have an "s" sound using the "sz" 
diagraph). But since my more recent ancestors, in their journey to 
America, changed the pronunciation to "zen-dri" ("i" pronounced as in 
Latin), we sometimes try to help people know the "s" is silent (in our 
corrupted pronunciation :) ).


My brother took a recent trip to Hawaii, and met some Hungarians, who 
told him how to say it correctly. Now he's going around pronouncing it 
"correctly". So who knows...
