Glad to hear you are willing to consider this. ;-) > The names actually stem from the TP documentation, which was divided into 3 > books: > Language Reference > User's manual > Programmer's manual That's what I gather -- or vaguely remember from my TP days. But with todays IDE and built-in help, I don't even know which document the IDE is referencing when I press F1 or Ctrl+F1. So when I look at the actual document files and names as you listed above, it is not immediately clear which document I should open to look for help. OK, in the list above "Language Reference" seems obvious, but everywhere else (as far as I remember) it is listed as FPC Reference Guide, which isn't obvious. FPC = Free Pascal Compiler. ...so FPC Reference Guide might mean a reference about the Free Pascal Compiler and not about the Object Pascal Language or as I suggested (and which is used in Kylix. Also, does the documentation about the language reference "Object Pascal" as the language or "Free Pascal" as the language? I hope it's Object Pascal, because using Free Pascal as the language would be just as confusing as what Borland did what they changed the language name from Object Pascal to Delphi. In forums and mailing lists, when they mention Delphi, I never know if they are talking about the IDE or the Language. The Object Pascal name was nice and clear.
