The reasons are: It uses the Linux unit, and while we need to convert
it to the Unix units.. and then add the annoying prefix of "fp".
Secondly, Some of the API that was used in the Demo is obsolete, so we
can't really use it. even if you will try to use it with the old
library, it will not be linked.

Yes, some of your code is much better then mine :( Making it more
general to be used. However you are missing pointers for the records
(for example), and less Pascal way of coding style, such as adding T
before typed declarations as an example.
However, your code is more general... If you allow me, I would add
such additions from what you have made to the library.
