At some point, those routines were moved into lazfileutils instead of fileutils.

Version 1.0.14 is very old by now; you'll probably find quite a lot more surprises like this one. Use the help or the wiki to find to where some functions/procedures/classes have been moved.

Particularly check, in the wiki, the Lazarus release notes (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Category:Release_Notes) & FPC User changes (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Category:FPC_User_Changes_by_release) pages for the releases you have skip over.

lucamar thank for u reply.. ,

yes my lazarus very old version and very surprise now  :D.
but i dont know why lazarus teams not keep consistency of "procedure and function location" , that make any error in other library/component 3Party. but even so lazarus is the best tool for programming

In most cases, as in your particular one, the deleted functions/procedures were simply wrappers calling the other ones, so they thought best to deprecate these wrappers and, after an adaptation time, delete them altogether.

Which, of course, is a problem for people like you, who use their version of Lazarus/Freepascal way beyond their "expiration" date :)
