They probably contain version information and an icon for the application. I can miss those ;) What I would like to see is simply Delphi Project File support. So that a Delphi programmer can simply open a delphi project file with free pascal ide or the command line compiler and simply compile build etc. Voila. That would safe the delphi programmer a lot of time. Now the alternative is that the delphi programmers use fp.ini and has to add every single unit again and again etc... That's going to cost a lot of time per project. I would estimated 1,2,3 hours. This should work for simple console application and maybe even text or gui applications maybe with clx ;) Bye, Skybuck. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
