There is no problem writing newlines (<CR><LF>) in parameters using Windows 
API calls, so writing multi-line comments works fine.

As far as reading is concerned, it's not so fool proof as you mention.
WinVC decides it has found a new tag when it finds a '=' on a line.  It
continues reading multiple lines until it finds another '=' or reaches
the end of the list.  This works fine unless an '=' has been specified
in the tag data.  I suspect there have been very few if any '=' entered
in tag data so generally it is safe.  It will certainly work perfectly
for those entering their own tags -- v1.0 will not allow an '=' in the data.

One day I may spend the time to work out how to add the library to the
software instead of using vorbiscomment.exe.  Or if someone with Delphi 
knowledge can supply me with code providing functions for reading & writing 
the comments then I'll pop them in.

I should be releasing v1.0 tonight which has been prettied up a bit with
menus, toolbar, keyboard shortcuts etc.

Cheers,
Ross Levis.
