Yes - see;
	TESTOBJ.PAS
	TESTCOLL.PAS
	TESTSTRM.PAS

Yes - see;
	TESTSTRM.PAS

They worked okay in my tests. See the procedure "TestPut" 
in TESTSTRM.PAS. Can you post a copy of the code that is
broken?

BTW: it is stated clearly that TStream and some of the other
objects are not complete - so, if anyone wants to implement
the missing bits, please feel free to do so!

It isn't there - but you could write it :-).  We would greatly welcome
all contributions to the bpcompat package!
