Perhaps some current user of RichView could comment on how good the

underlying codebase is. I am currently working on a large project where the

text processing is being done with WPTools. I bought the component

originally because superficially it appears quite impressive. However, now

that I have used it for a while and seen his source code I am positively

apalled at the way it has been coded - 700 line 'methods', a complete

incomprehension of Delphi exception handling usage, failure to understand

the difference between a while loop & a for loop to mention just a few

things.

Superficially, RichView appears to be just as good if not better in terms of

the functionality it offers. But what is it like under its skin?
