Windows has 'memcpy()', not 'memcopy()' ;-) As for the origins of Move(), I can't comment.... except to say that the original author of that procedure is trying to f*ck with my mind. :-) I would have imagined that with all our new found knowledge we might have come up with a better name for that procedure by now. Maybe it is worth adding a MemCopy() method in FPC? Which simply calls Move() internally.
