-//===========================================================================
-//   The Delphi 5 Classes.pas never supported the streaming of WideStrings.
-//   The Delphi 6 Classes.pas supports WideString streaming.  But it's too bad that
-//     the Delphi 6 IDE doesn't use the updated Classes.pas.  Switching between Form/Text
-//       mode corrupts extended characters in WideStrings even under Delphi 6.
-//   Delphi 7 seems to finally get right.  But let's keep the UTF7 support at design time
-//     to enable sharing source code with previous versions of Delphi.
-//
-//   The purpose of this solution is to store WideString properties which contain
-//     non-ASCII chars in the form of UTF7 under the old property name + '_UTF7'.
-//
-//   Special thanks go to Francisco Leong for helping to develop this solution.

+//===========================================================================
+//   The Delphi 5 Classes.pas never supported the streaming of WideStrings.
+//   The Delphi 6 Classes.pas supports WideString streaming.  But it's too bad that
+//     the Delphi 6 IDE doesn't use the updated Classes.pas.  Switching between Form/Text
+//       mode corrupts extended characters in WideStrings even under Delphi 6.
+//   Delphi 7 seems to finally get right.  But let's keep the UTF7 support at design time
+//     to enable sharing source code with previous versions of Delphi.
+//
+//   The purpose of this solution is to store WideString properties which contain
+//     non-ASCII chars in the form of UTF7 under the old property name + '_UTF7'.
+//
+//   Special thanks go to Francisco Leong for helping to develop this solution.
