This patch provides updates for the FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC). FMDC
Changes include making most procedures and functions protected instead
of private, and referring to components by type rather than name.
- NOIS issue LOM-0799-60075 is corrected (server side error due to a
string length problem).
- FMCheckBox components' display of retrieved null values as grayed-out
checked values is corrected. It now displays them as unchecked. An
invalid non-null text value will still appear as the grayed-out checked
value.
