Awards
Two of my open source programs have won 5 star awards from Shareware Island They are:

The BDiff / BPatch Utilities are also an "Editor's Pick" with a four star award from SoftSea
The code library contains numerous open source Delphi components, units and IDE extensions. Source code is provided for everything.
The source code and documentation of all the active library projects lives in the ddab-lib project on GoogleCode.
