   Hi,

 thanks for your report.

 I'd guess some problems with your configuration, since it works 
without problems on other PCs. Try to get and OS/2 version of unixish 
"which" tool and run "which as" on your command line. It must be 
possible to resolve this problem.

 That's what I wanted first, actually. However, it isn't possible, 
because both variants would use pointers as parameters (although one 
is a pointer to a structure, while the other is a pointer to another 
pointer), and FPC cannot distinguish there (imagine a situation where 
you'd call it with a variable of the base type "pointer" - that one 
is assignment-compatible to both of these).

                      Have a nice day
