[fpc-devel]Missing References for supplied units?!

[Lee, John]

To find out which fns are supported you have to look at the source of the
windows unit, eg ...rtl\win32\windows.pp or something like that (eg in
fpc.zip or fpc10.zip from ftp.freepascal.fpc\source but most of them are
supported by win32.

sleep certainly ok, I use it all the time...
d10.pp - sleeps for 10 secs file is:
uses windows;
begin
sleep(10000);
end.

just tried it on v10...on my PC, running win95...
750-c:\pas>v10nw
 win32/v10n(s) c:\v10nw\bin\ppc386 (size=268800) 1.0.7 [2003/02/07]

Thanks for the answer.
I already found the Win32.hlp on my Delphi CD.
So all functions are supported by the windows unit?
I'm asking, because I need the Sleep()-funtion of the "Process and
Thread Functions" group for my program.
I do not want to use Delay(), because I would have to include the crt
or wincrt unit then and the output is no longer made to stdout then...
However, Sleep() does not work here for me. Also SleepEx() seems to be
unsupported... Any ideas?

regards
Chris
