Delphi Debug Mode

1. No. But certain native properties and methods won't be available without it. (eg. Some of the grids & trees I work with would be impossible to manipulate and read properly without the extra's the debug version gives me).

2. Yes. Our build is automatically configured to produce two builds of the Delphi EXE's I test. One for the normal testers, one for me.

3. Yes. If you want to continue to access the things debug mode exposes. Although, you produce a build using debug options. Once you have a build with debug enabled, you can install it wherever you like. You don't need to "enable" it post build. All this happens in the compiler.

4. Same as above. If you run scripts that use properties not available outside debug mode, then they won't be available unless the EXE is compiled that way.
