Unixutil is a barrel of leftovers of 1.0.x times, and mostly obsolete. Originally they were used in the implementation of the unix unit internally (then still called "linux") and mostly meant to implement the dos unit. But in general since 2.0.x it is not recommended to use the dos unit anymore unless it really is for old TP code (and even then I would consider updating). This among others because of 255 char limitations of the dos interface. So use functions from 2.0.x like sysutils.extract* _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
