I don't know if it is the case for this specific header, but I always try to make the initialization explicit. This mainly because then in case of changed library names the user can simply override by passing the new name to the initialization routine. Note that there is a difference in an own header (that is usually part of the project), and a header that is mainly used precompiled. The latter has to last longer. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
