Than is never a good sign, and clearly shows the original authors have
moved on. So it seems the LNet project needs a new maintenance crew.

There is API help included with Delphi and Kylix. I found what I
needed from that help files without much trouble. There are plenty of
really good example projects too.

I don't think one needs to worry too much about that. Indy has shipped
with Delphi since D7. So it is an integral part of the Delphi
component suite. So I am pretty sure Embarcadero would selvedge the
code if it comes to that. There is even discussions about porting Indy
to the FireMonkey framework. So many existing Delphi clients seem to
use the Indy components in VCL, and would like to continue that with
FM.
