Dumb me! Nope! And this was the problem. I just copied the new strutils.ppu
file into
/usr/lib/fpc/... NOT the strutils.o as well. So when the executable got
"linked"

This brings up another nagging question I have had. If I set SpartLinking ON, my
executables are no smaller! Your reply here seems to suggest, that I do not
have any of my
units compiled with SmartLinking

I don't use an IDE, I simply use vi to edit source, and then "fpc sourcefile"
to produce
the executable.

Hi All:
What I need to do is to shell out to another program [GNUpg] and allow the user
to
interact with it (enter a pass phrase).
I have tried all the FpExec routines, the Shell routines etc. They ALL
execute gpg
correctly, with the proper command-line args, I see gpg's response on the

I am using "crt" for the readkey function in one of my procedures. No ncurses,
no video. I
am also smart-linking, so the only function compiled in from crt SHOULD be
readk

Thanks Jonas! That was the issue. So, I will just have to write my own readkey

Indeed! Problem gone! now to hide the user's typying from the screen. I was
using readkey
and echowing back a "*" during password input. I will

Hi All:
I am new to this list, but not new to pascal programming. I have been writing
pascal code
since Turbo pascal Version 3.0.
I have installed Free Pascal Ver. 2.0.0, running it on a Linux WorkStation, and
am writing
CGI apps which run on a Linux server. I love FPC! It keeps me honest, and
