Is this right? As linux does not really care about file extensions * Yes there is no reason not to add a '.exe' or whatever to the end but it is not necessary. eg. fpc doit.pas -odoit.exe ./doit.exe * OK The only thing to go wrong is a file not being executable, you get a permission denied message and need to type:- chmod +x doit (doit.exe) Hope this clarifies things a little * Yes. Thank You. It is like gif I can name pic.gif pic.gif and pic but it is more clear to name it pic.gif for myself. But Gimp can understand pic also. "Gnu Compiler Collection" Is this a good idea to use it as beginner?
