Maybe lclproc or filectrl.

No. They are only temporary, to ease maintenance and porting while doing the 1.0->1.1 conversion of Lazarus. I don't plan to build large compability units for this. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

To streamline the 1.0->1.1 conversion a bit, I want to wrap a few (3,4) unix functions temporarily. (Things like access etc), since it really saves a lot of ifdefs.

What unit (that is pretty much available anywhere, Lazarus +lcl) can I put them in?

Stop !

Maybe we should put these functions in SysUtils in a platform-independent way, if they are more generally usable ?

/me drops the compiler.

Maybe we should put these functions in SysUtils in a platform-independent way, if they are more generally usable ?

No. They are only temporary, to ease maintenance and porting while doing the 1.0->1.1 conversion of Lazarus.
