Delphi compatibility would only really apply to Win32, wouldn't it? > > Incidentally, can there be a warning printed out when the $APPTYPE > > directive > > is in the wrong place and has no effect? > > It already gives a warning: > > p.pp(4,2) Warning: Misplaced global compiler switch Ahh. Having just got FPC 1.9.2 from SourceForge (there should be a link to that from the FPC site), it does indeed give a warning. FPC 1.0.10 does not give such a warning. The executable also got 23KB larger just from being compiled with 1.9.2, ie. from 82KB to 105KB.
