I am partial agree with Graeme, LCL still use Windows as base platform, for
example BorderStyle property in the TForm (bsDialog, bsSingle ...), as i
remember it is from Delphi1 that work on Win3.11, look at bsSingle what it
is mean, How i can describe BorderStyle to newbie students, in Win311 there
is Form the border sized Sizable = Double, Single not sizable, or Dialog =
double but not sizable, it is depends on Resources in Win311 same names.

LCL is still inherit something from Win311
