I'm willing to have a look at your current version if you can upload it somewhere. Synapse has probably not been ported to the OS/2 target and it possibly uses various platform specific APIs but it should be possible to port it with reasonable effort (especially stuff like processing MIME messages should be fairly generic). First of all, you should check whether the missing units are supposed to be platform independent or not. If not, it is surely not just the matter of paths, etc. Also, if you mention concrete error messages, people may be able to advise. > i'm just not sure where to turn now so out of frustration, i'm now pulling > down > the dos242full.zip of FPC and will be installing that to another directory > on > the OS/2 box... then it should be a simple matter of copying the project > to > another directory in there and giving it a kick in the arse to see what > happens... hopefully i'll end up with a workable executable and my project > with > be, basically, at the end :) I'd recommend using the OS/2 target directly in your case; there are surely areas / functionalities which are better supported on the GO32v2 target (unit graph coming to my mind as one particular example), but I don't think that your project should really need those.
