This one can't be resolved during link. I get the following message:

Can you help, please.

Actually, this should be addressed by Walter Bright, since this is all part
of the win32api support that the compiler system should provide. Obviously,
this is something that slipped through the cracks. Hopefully, Walter will

In the meantime you could have a look at
