What I suggested used no IFDEFS, none at all. Each platform end user release, has a set of platform specific units created by a preprocessor. This would be specifically for x86/Dos, x86/Windows, x86/Solaris, x86/BSD, x86/Linux, ppc/MacOSClassic, ppc/Linux etc. Surely this removes your problem with the idea. Single minded units that only contain a single platforms code. You give these to the end users, and you use these for unit testing etc in pre-release. However, the FPC developers continue to use the include file style units internally. Your source code should document your work, and making the document hard to read makes the work harder to use. IMHO of course. Matt _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
