Paul, I think the Delphi help is misleading. This could be interpreted to
say that TDataset behaviour is still as it was originally:

It *could* be that different versions of Delphi actually *respond* to EOF
in different ways - "undocumented features" - i.e. earlier versions
excepted when Next was called at the last row, whereas later versions
simply set BOF and swallow the exception...if it happened, it was probably
at Delphi 3, when the TDataset class became virtual.
