Just because there are IFDEFs doesn't mean it's complete. It is probably work in progress, but far from complete by the sounds of things - I don't really know JCL code. > Ugly code I would say. Too many conditionals and dependencies. That's what you get if you don't use a compiler that is designed to be cross-platform. FPC with RTL, FCL and Lazarus LCL was designed to be cross-platform so IFDEFs like that are much less required. I would suggest that if there is something specific you needed from JCL, then only rip that portion out and port that to FPC - that's if FPC doesn't already include similar functionality in the FCL. > I could try to strip JclCompression unit so that only the essence or "real Which compression algorithm are you looking for. I think I saw compression algorithm code in FCL before. gzip is definitely there -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
