Under Linux with distros supporting the freedesktop.org standards you can execute the 'xdg-open' command. This will use the mime-type and the each users preference on that system. This works for URL's too. If the distro doesn't support xdg, I recommend you email the maintainers of that distor. Also xdg tools are downloadable from freedesktop.org, is small and user installable (without root access). Anyway, in my projects I have abstracted various platforms into a single command, similar to OpenURL. Our projects only need to support Linux and Windows though, so I don't know the solutions for other platforms. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
