WinProcs is a Windows 3.1x (TPW/D1) compability unit. Later versions alias
it to the windows unit as far as I know. FPC never supported 16-bit
backwards compat, so then it finally has to be updated :-)

More windows functions can be found in the jwa* units, and other units in
the "winunits" package(s).
