This didn't seem to have any effect but when I ran it from a command window, I could observe an error message so I submitted a bug report: http://www.freepascal.org/bugs/showrec.php3?ID=2692 Is it terribly difficult to install FPC manually on Win32? Are there registry settings? Or is it just getting the targets and patterns right? I still have my old win98 machine that ran FPC reliably... Could I just copy the relevant directories to my XP machine? -Alan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
