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

Very strange! I tried to compile the source a second time from within
the IDE and now it didn't complain about any missing declaration any
more :-/
Anyway, it works :)
So thanks again to everybody here :)

LJ>> There is no description of all of the stuff in the windoze unit.

LJ>> It just calls the windows functions - there are 100s and 100s of them.
LJ> The
LJ>> windows functions are/were documented in a large (8M) zip (win32.zip?)
LJ>> containing win32.hlp which used to be available as a free download from

LJ>> Regards John

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

LJ> regards

LJ>> Hi,

LJ>> Are there any and if so, where can I find them. Or is there at least a
