everyone else the installer successfully modified PATH, but not on my
machine.
I use a lot of command line programs, all installed in different
directories, so my PATH was too long for the CMake installer to modify.

I do have administrator privileges, and the installer could be built to
modify the user's PATH variable
aller<http://www.advancedinstaller.com/>is decent at creating
installers that correctly modify the PATH variable.

Jonas: Thanks, I'll use fpc -iV from now on.
But "make install" still puts an fpc binary in /usr/local/bin that reports
"2.7.1" and then overwrites *something* so that a second fpc call reports

Correct. But some systems expect hex input in lowercase, and some expect it
in uppercase. It would be nice if Format('%x', [s]) and Format('%X', [s])
allowed this kind of customization.
For now, AnsiLowerCase(Format('%X', [s]) is a workaround.
Cheers,
Andrew Penne
In the future, could Format respect the difference between '%x' and '%X'?
It's useful to use the former for lowercase hexadecimal.

However, procedures do not return anything, so it's hard to chain them. In

allow users to customize sorting, you'll need referencable anonymous

If you've used a functional language, you know how powerful these little

Thrice is designed to work for *any* array type, e.g. arrays of arrays of
