Can you specify what error messages / problems you are having with variants?

Here is a list:

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Code_Conversion_Guide#Major_unit_differences_between_Lazarus_and_Delphi

The majority of units have the same name.

Specifically for FPC Run-time Library units you can check a list of
units + documentation here:
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/index.html

There are 3 main parts of the documentation:

* Free Pascal Compiler documentation. This is quite complete and can
be accessed here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs.html

* Lazarus online documentation, for use on the IDE. About 5% complete
only. Needs a lot of work.

* Lazarus Wiki. Has a good amount of basic information, but needs much
improvement.

So feel free to drop questions here ^^
