Windows support was very late in FPC: afaik it was added around 1998. > . > . > > No, DOS. ;-) Also partly wrong ;) For myself, I started FPC to have a pascal compiler on linux and 32 bit dos extenders for my chess programs. However, I realized soon, that I could not develop on linux without TP which didn't run on DOS emu at these times so I dropped work on a linux version and concentrated on the DOS version. A few months later I added OS/2 support. OS/2 was quite popular in Germany during 1993-1995. But the point is: I tried to design FPC in a way which makes it cross platform and avoids platform specific stuff. At least as far as I understood things at this time ;) _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
