For next version we should in DOS version:
* fix and optimize various problems in unit Graph. The drawing routines in banking modes are very primitive - f.e. procedure Bar which draws filled bar just plots X x Y pixels - terrible
* add support for truecolor graphic modes in Graph unit

Clean sources for IDE
* remove unit VESA from IDE directory and fully rely on units from RTL like VIDEO.PP, MOUSE.PP, etc.
* most HTML formating units from IDE directory could be replaced to some FCL units.


About pointer vs @pointer issue:
I think the rules when use what are quite clear - I don't believe that here is any problem in compliler - it is in your code.
