Well, they are FPC only, and only work for OSes with a filesystems, so fpc.core.filesystem.file.utils is better I think. At the very least FPC specific functionality should not rest in a very common worth as "core" as root prefix. That defeats the prime reason for namespace, avoiding clashes. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
