Well, the problem mainly exists because you don't have any control over importing symbols from an unit other than "all". A different route would to fix that (like Modula2 or "qualified" importing like in again M2 but also GPC). If you only use a few functions from an unit with many identifiers (like the various OS headers units e.g. windows), you can go to qualified for from.. importing. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
