AFAIK it does not. Delphi projects with relative paths in library searchnames also can go horribly wrong. Usually the working dir is equal to the project dir, but in some cases they can differ, and then it goes wrong. The IN syntax was iirc mainly to fix certain Kylix naming issues, and to assist the designer (hence its main use in .dpr). It was abused for all kinds of trickery, but these were always hacks afaik. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
