I was just asking why FPC can't compile a unit that has dot(s) within 
its file name, since Delphi allows it. I know nothing about compiler so 
I can't provide enough informations how it should work. If it's too 
much, then forget it... I can live happily with current FPC.

The discussion goes wider to namespace and (Delphi).Net features. I 
didn't intend to go that far. I don't even know what namespace exactly 
is, let alone use it. I just want to have dot(s) within my unit's file 
name. That's all. If it's too much, then forget it... I can live happily 
with current FPC. As Michael suggested, I would change the dot to 
underscore. Fine.

> Also important is debatable because we've already lived without them for years.

Ah, you should throw away your car, your cellphone, or even your laptop. 
Those are not important, because humans had already lived happily 
without them for ages! :-P
