This is quite short-sighted: It's not only the work of writing a compiler switch. You also have to *know* (think) about it. There are so many compiler switches and if we end up with the situation that all new users have to spend a day to make their program work as the grandious feature list of some FPC page told them then something is wrong. Those who are already familiar with all the details have much less work to just add a compiler switch to their existing projects (if needed) and it would be necessary only once on a certain FPC version when this default changes. Now we need to tell each new user that he has to change the (default) settings to get a "modern" Pascal compiler because "out of the box" it is a very old one. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
