Exactly. That's what I wanted to create. I only included my general
purpose unit which I also use for LCL programs.
The design of your "general purpose" unit obviously is flawed. Console
and GUI applications differ in many subtle ways, and I suggest that you
use {$IFnDEF CONSOLE} to exclude everything that is available and usable
only in a GUI application. This general purpose solution already exists,
you simply did not yet find out how to use it :-)
There exist more hidden pitfalls, e.g. that you have to use SysUtils in
order to make SEH work - a Delphi heritage.
