The FreePascal Programmer's Guide version 3.2.0 reads in section 1.2.11
"Under Mac Pascal mode, the $DEFINEC directive is equivalent to the $DEFINE
directive and is
provided for Mac Pascal compatibility.
{$DEFINE} can also be used to define macros or compile-time constants:"
This is not correct. In Metrowerks Pascal, $definec and $define are two
distinct directives
$definec key value defines a macro where key is replaced by value
$definec key defines a macro where key is replaced by an
empty string
$define key defines key as a symbol (to test with $fdef
c.s.)
This is also how it actually works in FPC in Macpas mode, where $definec key and $define key are
not equivalent.
