And because of that age old statement, we now have to live with inconsistent syntax. I'd rather vote for consistent syntax compared to loosing a millisecond here and there while parsing. The 'Hint Directive' syntax is so bad that it couldn't even be described in the documentation via the syntax diagrams (Language Reference - section 1.5). That says a lot. -- 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
