[fpc-pascal] FileAge deprecated in Delphi, but not in FPC

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

As past discussions showed, Free Pascal tries to be Delphi compatible 
regarding the RTL. I noticed that Delphi's FileAge() function [the one 
with a single parameter) has been deprecated in Delphi XE (circa 2010) 
onwards - might even have been earlier.

Yet in FPC's RTL (code and documentation) there is no mention that it 
has been deprecated. Should FPC follow Delphi here?

If FPC should follow Delphi, I'll create a patch (added to Mantis), and 
at the same time update the code example shown in the SysUtils.FileAge help.


Regards,
   Graeme
