Hi,

does anyone know if a unit imm.pp (see below) was ever part of FPC? (See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13140 )

If it was, what was the reason for it's removal?

Martin

head of imm.pp:

Not to my knowledge. The logical place would be in winunits-base, where the other delphi compatible windows headers reside. If it is clear that we have permission from the author to include it, I see no problem in adding it.

If it was, what was the reason for it's removal?

Afaik it wasn't of FPC, but searching a bit seems that some packages (like clootie's directx headers) package alternatives also.

Maybe it was offered only to lazarus?

the unit is still missing in FPC win package. is it going to be included?

The unit is from Alexey Barkovoy, not the one that submitted them. Moreover it seems to be in lazarus mantis rather than FPC.

Get confirmation from Alexey that is ok to include, and I'll do some checks and commit asp.
