Sven, It's not used as a unit name, but there might be "something" "somewhere" hiding, so I am not ready to file a bug report on it yet. It's probably better to make another demo program with less cruft. -- Noah On 2012/03/01, at 16:13, Sven Barth wrote: > Am 01.03.2012 01:43, schrieb Noa

That shouldn't happen. You are allowed to alias identifiers found in units used (and that's the unit scoping rule). The only case where duplicate identifier error occurs is when you have them in the same unit (either directly or via include files). -- View this message in context: http://free-pas

Hi, By the way, I was wrong about saying ABAP doesn't work outside of SAP BASIS in me previous example, I found their research project "caffeine" today and got it working. Of course my next step will be to see how to make it interface with FPC. :) Also, did anyone else notice that "tile" is

To stress this a bit: around two weeks ago I told my "program optimization" teacher (who's the head of the "programing languages" chair) about Free Pascal (and Delphi) and he didn't know that Pascal "already" supports OOP... :( don't be so sad... pass your exams, whatever it takes to, then rethi

Sven, Wow, you should buy him a book on Delphi. I would say on FPC, but the main FPC book is only to be had by mail order - I keep hoping they will offer it in Kindle format or such. -- Noah On 2012/02/28, at 18:05, Sven Barth wrote: > Am 28.02.2012 08:22, schrieb Noah Silva: >> Well Obj
