The Y Core Library contain functions and classes, which I has published earlier in different units, and also unpublished stuff. Currently there don't exists any helpfile, however the most functions are documented in the unit.

The library is a Object-Pascal library. Supported will be Delphi since version 5. Parts of the library was developed under earlier version and could work on it. The main part of the library is intended for a platform independent use, but currrently it is tested only under Windows (except the zlib/tar units which was tested with Kylix).

I will extend this library from time to time. If you want to contribute something, you are welcome. There is a bug report system, but also I happy about other feedback.
