title: "specific to a platform" warning in Delphi 6 on Windows 7
body: <p>We have some legacy code that compiles in Delphi 6.  There are plans to rewrite it in a more current IDE, but they are a ways out.</p>
  
  <p>When we compile it we get several warnings like this:</p>
  
  <pre>FPrecision is specific to a platform.</pre>
  
  <p>This is in VCL\DB.pas.  (Not our file.)  FPrecision is defined like this:</p>
  
  <pre>FPrecision Integer Platform</pre>
  
  <p>I can see why it is platform specific, but I don't really see what to do about it.  </p>
  
  <p>This only started happening when we moved to Windows 7 to develop on.</p>
  
  <p>I saw <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/352479/delphi-warning-w1002-symbol-filesetdate-is-specific-to-a-platform">this question</a>, but the solution does not work for me.  I cannot add the pre-compiler tags to DB.pas and the project file does not have any options (that I can see) to suppress just this warning.</p>
  
  <p>Is my only option to turn off all warnings or live with it?</p>
