A few. > 64 KB programs ? > Terrible limitations. Agreed, but the FPC mode doesn't have these limitations. It is a TP dialect compability, but otherwise a full 32/64 bit mode. The compiler itself is written in it for a large part. IOW one can probably perfectly write 64-bit compatible TP code and use a few tens of GBs of memory. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
