Colin Sarsfield's Delphi Page

A while back I wrote some libraries for Delphi and placed them in the public domain. Click here to download. These libraries have also been further updated and enhanced by Tomislav Kardaš. His update includes the ability to load HTML files, which do not conform to the XML standard, and XPath support.

The readme for my version of the libraries follows:

Readme.txt - Release 4 (March 12, 2004)

This zip file contains some miscellaneous Delphi modules that I have released into the public domain for you to use at your own risk. Also included are some demo programs which show how to use some of the units.

Source\QSort.pas - unit with an optimized quick sort procedure like C's qsort.
