Yup, that's what somebody else told me as well
All I really use 'libc' for is to retrieve the user name and group
name from the user and group id's of files. As I said, it's not
critical, I can always display the id's only. Or maybe parse the
/etc/groups and /etc/passwd files to get the names, but I heard that's
not very accurate for some

Just to let you know Daniël, that doesn't work for Linux 32-bit
systems, but the idea is correct. It should read.

(Daniel's is better, I still have the habit to make 1.0.x compat defines,
while not necessary anymore)

Hi,
I know the 'libc' unit is for linux-x86 only. Does that also exclude
64-bit Linux?
Correct. 64-bit safeness is one thing the Kylix libc unit was not designed
for.
If so, how can I IFDEF code that needs to run on Linux (32 & 64 bit)

Yes.
