Well, I got it installed via Lazarus yesterday, but didn't see
anything about it's use/capabilities until "after the fact"
(downloading the disk image).
It's not very obvious for someone just looking for info about using
FPC on Mac OS when all the info on the FPC web site is outdated by
more than two years and the Lazarus site mentions it only fairly
hidden. All the obvious places mention Windows ("Delphi") and Linux only...
Now I just have to find out how it is possible to update the compiler
to the latest version (Lazarus is still on 2.4.2) and what packages
are available to use with it.
Thanks, it is great to see how far FreePascal has come since the
"FPK" days... ;-)
