Doug, Hi
Thanks for the welcome.
As a veteran Turbo Pascal user, (since ver 3.0 in 1986), I was introduced to
Object Pascal in 1989 when I upgraded to TP ver 5.5, although it was quite
different to Object Pascal we use today. BTW, I still "sort of" know my way
around Turbo Vision.

If you're looking for a GUI IDE, try the Lazarus IDE. I use FPC extensively to
code Linux libs and console applications. I use Lazarus as my editor/IDE, it
has all I need and more.
Give it a try.

I must agree with Michael.
In my experience, it doesn't matter where the findclose() is placed, as long
as it's called within the scope of the findfirst(), findnext(). If
findclose() is not called, all that happens is that the OS will use up file
handles, which are finite in quantity on any giv

A most welcome addition.
I'm ashamed to admit that I only found out that it's been included in FPC

It also works in Delphi mode.
It's intersting to note that as far back as Delphi 5,(oldest I have on my
system), attempting to write to a typed constant causes a "left side cannot
be assigned to" compiler error.
I guess as long as FPC compiler offers TP7 compatibility, this feature must be
retained. Also, bear in mind that

According to the note in chapter 2, section 2.2.1 of the FPC Programmer's

Is there a way around this?

Hi,
FPC 2.2.4 refers.
Two of the four hint directives listed on page 11 of the Reference Guide for
Free Pascal, version 2.2.4 don't work as described in the manual.
The "Experimental" directive causes the compiler to stop with a syntax error.
The example program listed on page 11 doesn't compil
