To find out which fns are supported you have to look at the source of the windows unit, eg ...rtl\win32\windows.pp or something like that (eg in fpc.zip or fpc10.zip from ftp.freepascal.fpc\source but most of them are supported by win32.
sleep certainly ok, I use it all the time... d10.pp - sleeps for 10 secs file is: uses windows; begin sleep(10000); end. just tried it on v10...on my PC, running win95... 750-c:\pas>v10nw win32/v10n(s) c:\v10nw\bin\ppc386 (size=268800) 1.0.7 [2003/02/07] --installed:07/02/03 18:49:02 v10 from:d:\fpk\basew32_v10.zip 07/02/03 02:48 750-c:\pas>pas d10 win32/v10n(s) c:\v10nw\bin\ppc386 (size=268800) 1.0.7 [2003/02/07]--Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.7 [2003/02/07] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2003 by Florian Klaempfl Target OS: Win32 for i386 Compiling d10.pp Linking d10.exe 3 Lines compiled, 5.6 sec -- d10.exe made ok 750-c:\pas>d10 sleeps for 10 secs... -----Original Message----- From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 18:21 To: Lee, John Subject: Re[2]: [fpc-devel]Missing References for supplied units?!

LJ> Regards John Thanks for the answer. I already found the Win32.hlp on my Delphi CD. So all functions are supported by the windows unit? I'm asking, because I need the Sleep()-funtion of the "Process and Thread Functions" group for my program. I do not want to use Delay(), because I would have to include the crt or wincrt unit then and the output is no longer made to stdout then... However, Sleep() does not work here for me. Also SleepEx() seems to be unsupported... Any ideas? regards Chris LJ> -----Original Message----- LJ> From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] LJ> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 16:17 LJ> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LJ> Subject: [fpc-devel]Missing References for supplied units?!
