Description:
I am new to Lazarus 1.0.4 and started with its Delphi project conversion utility. This utility already replaces some unit and function names but of course it leaves some traces.
For example
"Windows.FileClose"
is not replaced to
"FileClose"
Some cases like FileClose appear in the documentation so that one has a chance to find out what to do, but some functions like
"Win32Check" don't appear anywhere. But Win32Check is an essential function for the file handling under Windows. So I guess there is a replacement for it in Lazarus, but that is not documented.
So what is missing is a list of Delphi functions and their replacement in Lazarus.
(The Delphi to Lazarus conversion can however be improved a bit because currently there are too many things that one needs to rename manually.)
