No, not nonsense. Jeff P. (yetanothergeek) had a header for freepascal not using any JCL, AFAIK. Which is the original link I provided, which wasn't working. Which is why I posted this to the mailing list. He did it for us already, AFAIK. No sense repeating Jeff's work if he already did it. > > > So why use the JCL?

That's not JCL's problem, that is freepascal and GPL's problem.

Jeff's unit may have been, for all you know, which is the unit that I supplied a uRL to in my first email. Which I cannot download, and am waiting for Jeff to reply. In the mean time, S. Fisher has already got a unit working while we were yapping.
