Is there a way to check on whether the code is running in debug mode ? (similar to the ASSERT macro in MSc.

Not that I know of. What I do is define a DEBUG preprocessor symbol in my Debug configuration and then use !DEC$ IF DEFINED (DEBUG) to test for it and display a message.

I figured as much, except if one forgets to reset the symbol back when going to release things an get yucky.

Thanks anyway.

No need to reset it. Just make sure that "Win32 Debug" is showing in the Settings window, and your definition will apply to that configuration only.
