As nobody else reported anything meanwhile... Obvious problems first: 1) In <ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/2.2.0a/go32v2/separate/> files demo.zip, gdbdos.zip, and makedos.zip are missing. 2) In <ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/beta/2.2.0a/go32v2/shortsep/> files basedos.zip, demo.zip, aslddos.zip, gdbdos.zip, and makedos.zip are missing. 3) I only tested `shortsep' under Windows 2000 (with LFNs). Installation was OK. 4) Building <http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org/gh-1100-src.zip> was a little bit difficult, because IDE returned to DOS prompt *w/o* an error message very often. Running GearHead was difficult too, because it crashed after entering a characters name -> *w/o* any error message. After playing around a got "-gl" to work. But only every three times it showed a dump when crashing. Very strange! 5) I noticed, that examples\gdbint\symify.pp is broken, because it assumes "0x" for hex numbers, where current FPC uses "$". I hacked it a little to make it work finally. I'd like to share my patch with others. Should symify be able to detect both "0x" and "$"? When I tried to build symify.pp in IDE, I was able to build symify.o only. It just didn't build an EXE file, but didn't show an error. Via command-line compile I found, that there some libs missing.
