Thanks, I will have a look and see what happens if you tell me where in Lazarus to look. My use case here is that I created a Windows version of Linux "uptime" by starting in Lazarus with a new Project and selecting Program. The resulting program looks like this: program uptime; //Uptime shows the elapsed time as days-hours-minutes-secods since system start {$mode objfpc}{$H+} uses {$IFDEF UNIX} cthreads, {$ENDIF} Classes, SysUtils { you can add units after this }; function FormatUpTime(Tdiff: QWord): string; var t, d, h, m, s: integer; begin t := Tdiff div 1000; //To get seconds s := t mod 60; m := (t div 60) mod 60; h := (t div 3600) mod 24; d := (t div 86400); if d > 0 then Result := Format('%d %.2d:%.2d:%2d',[d, h, m, s]) else Result := Format('%.2d:%.2d:%2d',[h, m, s]); end; begin writeln(FormatUptime(GetTickCount64)); end. I had to add SysUtils to make it work but Lazarus put Classes in there by itself. Since the final binary size after using strip -s on the exe file is 271 kb it seems a bit big! Or is there a lot behind the scenes I have missed? I see many command line utilities (not written by me) that are *much* smaller and still do much more.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
