Yep, I think so. For Phonegap I would need to learn CSS and PHP

Hi Ryan,
Just so happens this is what I've been immersed in the last few
months. I have an idea for an app I'm working on - like you I have
Pascal experience, but unlike you I have no Apple experience, so I've
been trying to find the best way for me to code for Apple as well.

Hi all,
I was on this list years ago, and then fell off at some point for
some reason, but back again now. :-)
Having written for DOS all those years ago, I am now just getting
into making smartphone apps, and it would be good to be able to use my
old friend FPC for it. :-) I have some fami

That would be great. I would love to read them (I am at the soaking-up
information stage :-) ).
thanks, Donald.

Just write a script to call the program and do the re-name.
e.g. create call_bar.pas_with_rename in a directory that's in your path
with following code...
set homedir=(where-ever this stuff lives)
cd $homedir
bar.pas
mv bar.o ${1}.o
Then you can just run "call_bar.pas_with_rename foo_bar"
Coming out of lurk mode...

I'll have a look at that as well. Why doesn't the compiler have the
ability to read a word? All of this extra code needed because I have to
read words one character at a time! It would be the single most useful
addition. I don't understand why compilers have no

As per my last question to the list, I'm sure there's a way to do this,
but I'm not sure how. Last time I got a quick answer after I'd spent ages
trying to work it out myself, so I'll ask first this time, instead of
banging my head against the keyboard. :-)
I'll use the actual example I am w

Now THIS is what I needed to know! Thank you. :-) I originally tried a
writeln kind of syntax - '/c copy ',paramstr(1),' ',paramstr(1),'.bak /v'
- but that didn't work, hence my other attempts to build the string. I

Hi all,
The previous compiler I used didn't have Exec or a way to get
parameters, so I am currently fooling around with these new toys (needless
to say, my old programs were pretty inflexible, with hard-coded filenames,
etc.).
In particular, I am trying to build and execute a DOS command usi

Ah, okay. I am writing a budget program, so I was using green and red
text-colours. It's the first time I've used coloured text. I guess I'll
have to create a black and white version in order to save the output.
thanks,

When I try to re-direct my program output it's not working. I have
tried both ">file" and "|more", yet the program continues to display on
screen as normal. Is there a known bug with this?
In another compiler, I used to have such problems when I was calling
the program from a batch file, but

I guess that's what's happenning, as when I increased the files it
worked. It seemed so extravagent that another 18 files would be open to
run a simple pascal program I didn't even think it worth checking! I
