It is also more a hint that something is going on than a final precisely described verdict. Like while e.g. unit libc is deprecated (stronger, IMHO never was anything else), but I don't have plans to remove it as long as it is usable and maintainable. I just want to avoid that people grep the sources, find calls there and start using it. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
