Unit Names give very limited namespace support - which only applies to types or procedures/functions or global variables (anything in the interface section of a unit). They to not resolve unit name conflicts. eg: RTL contains a constants.pas unit, but I want to create a constants.pas unit in my project too. With the state of unit name rules at the moment, this is not allowed. The units included in the compiler always takes preference, and everybody else has to keep renaming units, and do search & replace until no conflicts occur. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
