The only way I know to do a "deep" copy of an object
is to SAVE and RESTORE it. Alas, this is typically such
a slow process that most of the time it is unusable in
a working program. In every practical case, I've had
to transfer properties.

Join me in asking ITTVIS for a true object COPY mechanism.

Cheers,

David

I have always wondered how to do that. I report bugs to
techsupport@ittvis.com but what about feature requests? Do they have
some web forms or do I just spam them.
