Good day,
Please what is a difference between .pp and .pas files extension?
IIRC, pp is objectpascal whereas pas is "general" pascal...
There is no "is", it's all up to you what kind of convention you use.
From the early days of FreePascal (FPK back then ;-) ), for myself,
I kept using .pas for anything that compiles with Turbo/Borland
Pascal and/or Delphi, while I use .pp for things that compiles only
in FreePascal. That works just fine for all my projects so far,
including using old BP units for certain things like time math in
both current Delphi and FreePascal projects...
And the issue with using an external editor with matching syntax
highlighting, I think any editor that is worth its salt should be
able to adjust the extensions...
