Hi felow pascaloids,
I know I'm out the discussion, but I don't understand why Pascal should
include stuff from other languages that doesn't fit the "spirit"
of Pascal, as readability (and no, "++" isn't more readable). I mean,

Hello everybody,
Has somebody used Free Pascal 2.6 in DOSbox?
I'm having problems with the installer (text looks corrupted and it

it's because I'm using it in a 64bit Linux (Xubuntu 12.04).

Thanks for your messages.
By the way, I've read at Free Pascal's download site that there's two
ARM versions for the compiler, one of them is for Linux. Pandora will
use a Linux distro (www.freepascal.org/down/arm/linux.var). Does
somebody use that one?

If you're using the LCL they explained in the other answers, but if you
