No, I just added them into the uses clause where appropriate.
But I seem to remember from Delphi that the function was rather
hit-and-miss in such cases. Having the units as part of the project
made things much better!
Thanks for the pointer!

And I just realized that it probably will not work until the code can
be compiled without errors too. And this does not happen because the
Delphi/Windows stuff has to come out either by delete or a bunch of
conditionals first. The compile barfs at such things as uses units
like:
Windows,
comctrls,
extctrls,
Forms,
StdCtrls,
FileCtrl

I put these inside {$IFNDEF UNIX} blocks to get past the errors.
Will have to deal later with the consequences of that of course.

One of the Delphi units (CommonFuncs) is a collection of goodies that
is used by a number of the object units, however I have now decided to
cut out everything not needed for this project from that unit and only
keep the bare necessities.

First time I am doing anything seriously complex in Lazarus, only
tested minute things over the years before (looked once a year
perhaps).....
