Um... well, AFAIK Eric did write the PASCAL unit, but some other person ported the C code that makes up the SQLite library to BeOS. The two acts are quite seperate. Anyway.... Strings.pas is legacy, from TurboPascal days, where as the modern 'SysUtils' is a unit that contains almost all of the utility functions that exist. I'd much rather use a single unit and let the compiler strip the unwanted symbols rather than have to include 5+ units to cover String, integer, variant etc functionality. Maybe that's just me though <g> Matt _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
