[comp.lang.pascal] Is TP4 coded 100%

If I don't access FreeMem/HeapMem/... in TP4.0 (or was it in TP5.x
they where introduced) will everything then compile under TP6.0?

I think so.  There's a tiny incompatibility between TP 5.5 and TP 6.0 in the
definition of objects (in 5.5, a semi-colon ";" after the last declaration
was optional, in 6.0 it's required), but objects weren't allowed at all in
4.0.

You will of course need source for all referenced units:  .TPU files are
never re-usable across upgrades.
