I've been using 1.0.6 for about 2 years now. It's always served me well (thanks guys!), which is precisely why I've been reluctant to upgrade. The only things I develop any more are console-mode, 32 bit Windows programs, so a lot of the new features didn't pertain to me. However, the other day I downloaded a copy of 1.9.4 to give it a try. I used pkzip to archive my entire 1.0.6 installation. Then I deleted those old files and installed the new version.

Unfortunately, while trying to compile some of my units and programs with 1.9.4 it became apparent that there were more changes in the past 2 years then I thought because I was getting a lot of warnings and errors I had never gotten before (some of my stuff has been compiling, and working, for years now, so I'm fairly confident the code is okay).

Seeing as how it was going to take a lot of coding -- and documentation reading -- to find out what was going wrong I decided to wait for another day, when I could actually devote the necessary time to do it properly. So I deleted 1.9.4 and restored my zip of 1.0.6. But now it doesn't work. :-(

Every time I try compiling something I get the error "Fatal: Can't find unit SYSWIN32". syswin32.ow and syswin32.ppw are both in c:\fpc\units\win32\rtl, so that's not the problem. fpc.cfg has the following lines:

  -Fuc:\fpc/units/$TARGET
  -Fuc:\fpc/units/$TARGET/*
  -Fuc:\fpc/units/$TARGET/rtl

So that's not the problem either. The Compile.bat I use hasn't been modified in at least a year, so even that's not an issue. I use the command line "ppc386 -OG -n -vehnw -WC -Xs -XX", which isn't all that complex either.

Since everything looks fine -- and it's what I've been using, unmodified, for the better part of 2 years -- I'm pretty certain my config is okay. I thought that maybe the .zip was corrupted, but according to pkzip (version 4) it checks out fine. I even went as far as removing that version and trying to unzip it again, but the same problem keeps happening.

Okay, after this loooong winded story the question is; what am I missing? This is the EXACT same setup I've been using for a very long time, but for some reason it's not working now. Does anyone have an idea of what's going wrong here?

TIA...

Jim Wilson
