[fpc-pascal] why connect is "deprecated"

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi All,

I am trying to write a tcp client (redis) in free pascal, and found this
function marked as deprecated:

Function Connect(Sock:longint;const addr:TInetSockAddr;var
SockIn,SockOut:text):Boolean; deprecated;

My question is, why it is deprecated, or, what is the replacement for this
function?

Thanks
