the disadvantage will come in the useing. over time more and more units will contain these because they are easy. so you will end up with a lot of redundant code. doesn't matter if they know better or not. they will choose the easy path and let someone else worry about it. just like many of the half ported code that is out there, people port what they need to get there code working then contribute it hoping someone else will finish. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
