No. One source, and one temporary preprocessed form for the compiler which you don't need to store. But there are many such temporary digested forms, like assembler and .o's in FPC's case True. Error handling would be a problem, but if you keep the hacky constructs in separate files that is quite workable. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
