Yes. An attempt is made to map some of the errors to I/O. Anyway, if sb wants to support and modernize them, I have no problem with that. But that hasn't happened since 2005-2007 or so. That would also make it possible to directly map socketerror to getlastresult/fpgeterrno, instead of caching it in another threadvar. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
