While possible, I don't think it is necessary. This is bad coding that should have cleaned up long ago. Adding a workaround because the bad workaround fails makes no sense. The old workaround should be cleaned up. Of course there is always a chance that Embarcadero will do something like that when they go 64-bit, but we'll cross that bridge if we get there. (since even if we add a workaround, there is a chance they will add yet another) -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
