I have quite a bit of code developed over the years, but I have never sold software commercially or used it for business.

When editing a type library for a COM DLL, it appears that in Delphi 2007, the type library name is always set to the name of the project. If I go and change that name, the change is ignored and eventually resets to the project name. Back in Delphi 7 I could specify the name of the type library. What is the expected behavior? Should we...
