[Lazarus] MDI implementation

[Daniel Franzini]

Hi Peter.

I found this version to be newer.

http://www.oocities.org/br/hipernetjr/lmdi/index_en.html

It seems to work well, but needs further testing.

"Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs.
Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to
do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a
computer to do." (Donald Knuth)

"Yes, technogeeks can be funny, even if only to each other." (

"Man is driven to create; I know I really love to create things. And while
I'm not good at painting, drawing, or music, I can write software."
