We still have to support the filemode var out of compatibility. So I'm not exactly sure what you are proposing. Do you mean you want a kind file I/O wrappers somewhere to avoid this in new code? Then there is no reason to use mutate the existing routines, just write a new unit. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
