In which case it might be worth usingan older LCL version for that application, or adding IFDEF's toLCL-Win32 to keep NT4 support going for a while longer. The amount ofeffort is up to the original poster of this thread.

There's actually two cases here. The first is where a statically-linked 
entry point is not available, which can only be fixed by an IFDEF.

The second is where a function is available but not fully implemented, 
and where the caller- i.e. code written by an FPC or Lazarus 
contributor- isn't checking for an error in an ill-considered attempt at 
efficiency.
