Flicker in Delphi 3.x

  Because Delphi 3.x has no internal support for doublebuffering there is some
flicker when repainting plan. If you are interested in Delphi 3 support,
please mail me and I will fix it in next release.

----------------
  I plan to refuse from Delphi 3.x support. If you need Delphi 3 support in
Oxygen Plan Library, please mail me at delphi@oxygensoftware.com.
