Okay... I've been to bed and had some sleep... so now I'm thinking a little
clearer. *SMILE*

When I first saw that message I thought that I needed to add "{$
Interfaces}" to my code. However, I now realize that I needed to add
"Interfaces" to my "frog.lpr" uses clause.

I can now compile and run my unit... However, it still needs debugging.

For those interested, it is basically a TForm with a TPaintBox and I have a
unit which reads a M$ Windowz bitmap (e.g. a .BMP file) of a bitmap font.
The unit can paint the bitmap font to the TPaintBox with any colour text or
background, and even in reverse video.

It's designed to mimic the fonts use on old Commodore PET computers (circa
1977) which had a mono green screen etc etc. Thats why its called "Frog
Retro Remake Game" e.g. it's a "Retro" game.

I'll probably post a few more messages about how I'm going debugging it.
*SMILE*
