Does that imply that, when I have a 32-bit program do a FindFirst for common.dll in the system32 folder, Windows just tells the program that the file is there? -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
