有没有人愿意接手TNT Unicode Controls？它的作者(Troy)打算为它找新家了，我们的CnPack或者类似的组织是否愿意继续？请把这条消息转发给有意愿对Delphi Unicode控件提供技术支持的朋友或者组织，谢谢！

下面是Troy Wolbrink的邮件原文：
Five years ago in January of 2002, I launched the TNT Unicode Controls project with one Unicode-enabled component: TTntEdit. My applications were going global, and I needed to support Unicode in them. I've always been a big fan of the Object Pascal language and the VCL framework. So rather than switching to a completely different development environment, I decided that I'd rather improve the environment that I was already being productive in. I'm glad I did.
Delphi for .NET has always held out hope for me, because of its built-in support for Unicode. But my applications were pretty heavily tied to using ADO Express components, and these weren't yet available in Delphi 8. And then by the time Delphi 2005 came around, TNT Unicode Controls were keeping me pretty comfortable in the world of native Delphi.Win32.
The feedback I've received from other developers has always been very valuable. The error reports I received from others have helped me to correct issues before the users of my applications run into them. In fact, this feedback is why I freely made these components available (ie. free testing). But the project has really slowed down significantly in terms of new development the past few years. I have reached a point where I have all the controls I need for my own applications. And as a natural side effect of not new much new development, the quality has been very stable.
Now that I'm not benefiting as much from the feedback, I no longer have good business reasons to justify the cost of management of this project. Before I pull the plug, I'd like to find a new home for this project. I don't have any preconceived notions of how the future owner would mange this project. It could be a SourceForge-style project, absorbed by JVCL or some similar project, or it could even be a commercial entity. So, if you would like to assume ownership of this project, please present your case to me directly by email.
Sincerely,
Troy Wolbrink

P.S. Thanks so much to all those who have contributed back to this project over the years in terms of feedback, ideas, code, encouragement, gifts, etc. I've come to learn that the Delphi community is the best software development community in the world!
