Hi,
As past discussions showed, Free Pascal tries to be Delphi compatible
regarding the RTL. I noticed that Delphi's FileAge() function [the one
with a single parameter) has been deprecated in Delphi XE (circa 2010)
onwards - might even have been earlier.

Yet in FPC's RTL (code and documentation) there is no mention that it
has been deprecated. Should FPC follow Delphi here?

If FPC should follow Delphi, I'll create a patch (added to Mantis), and
at the same time update the code example shown in the SysUtils.FileAge help.
I don't think this API should be deprecated. Updating the code sample to
show both forms would be a nice idea, though.
Michael.
