Here's what I'd do:
0. Back up everything.
1. Find out the name of the unit TNumericEdit was in (let's pretend it was
numedit.pas)
2. Get a replacement class from somewhere (let's pretend it's called
TNumberEdit, in numberedit.pas)
3. Rename numberedit.pas to numedit.pas
4. Edit (the new) numedit.pas, and search and replace TNumberEdit with
TNumericEdit.
5. Recompile (the new) numedit.pas, and add it to your library.
6. If you're lucky, your projects should load.
7. If you're unlucky, they'll complain about missing properties or events.
You might be able to ignore the warnings (and lose the properties), or you
might want to edit (the new) TNumericEdit class such that it now has the
missing properties and events.
Good luck!
