But to humour you, here is just one of many examples: THelpEvent in the RTL. I proposed a patch to change it to be more in line with FPC's goals [being a cross-platform compiler, so requires cross-platform solutions]. The change was declined because THelpEvent is a direct copy of Delphi's equivalent, and even worse, is very Windows specific in its signature. Yes, it's a small and stupid example, but there are many more like this. Delphi-compatibility seems to trump everything else (as Martin said). -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
