I don't know what else to call the subject, but here's a fragment of

code that will show what I want to do:

type TEDFileIO = object Handle : File; destructor Close; virtual; end;

destructor TEDFileIO.Close; begin System.Close(Handle); end;

I'm having slight trouble compiling the latest version (I just started

to use Linux on a regular basis). The last binary version of GPC did not allow me to do this. If the above does not work, is there a way around it in which I would not have to change the name of the method?

Not that I can see. GPC does not yet support qualified identifiers. And. IIRC 'Close' is not defined in GPC's system unit, but rather in the RTS itself.
