:)

Actually, since this is FPC/Lazarus we're talking about (which means, 
thankfull NOT Delphi), you guys have made it relatively easy to 
re-compile both FPC and Lazarus.

And, since all I want to do is a very small surgical alteration, I'd say 
--given the above-- doing this is not elaborate at all.

Will do, thanks.

But, let me ask this:

If I used the CRT unit, would I need to add it to every single unit in 
the project that uses WriteLn?
