Copy name is compatible with other starndard RTL functions like Copy and CopyArray. I think is more intuitive for Pascal users. Clone is more "Java story". Instead of AddRef my proposition is: PostCopy, AfterCopy, LateCopy, LazyCopy (it is not at all "lazy copy" by definition, but I like it). All copied data already exist but programmer still can do some actions post-factum (for example proper ref. counting). IMO best choice is LateCopy. -- Best regards, Maciej Izak
