• Works with Delphi 2009.
• Created DSiInterlocked*64 family of functions by copying the code from http://qc.borland.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=6212. Functions were written by Will DeWitt Jr and are included with permission.
• New functions DSiCopyFileAnimated, DSiConnectToNetworkResource, DSiIsHtmlFormatOnClipboard, DSiGetHtmlFormatFromClipboard, DSiCopyHtmlFormatToClipboard, DSiYield.
• Added constants FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY, FILE_SHARE_FULL, FILE_ACTION_ADDED, FILE_ACTION_REMOVED, FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED, FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_OLD_NAME, FILE_ACTION_RENAMED_NEW_NAME.
• Forced {$T-} as the code doesn't compile in {$T+} state.
• Bug fixed: It was not possible to use DSiTimeGetTime64 in parallel from multiple threads
