Getting small-minded people to wake up on almost any topic, from programming
languages to global politics, is the stuff of revolution. And that is the

Remember, Pascal is merely a TEACHING language, unsuitable for commercial
software development, which is why we have C. :)

It's not documented in the User Manual, but appears to be associated with

Can anyone give an estimate of how many FPC users there are now,
worldwide? I'm not certain how to define this, but would like to get a
feeling. One metric might be the number of downloads of various
versions. Another might be the size of this email list. My gratitude to

How can I use fillchar to give an ansistring a value of, say
'x'? In other words, I want to create a string that contains
only a single character, that is repeated a certain number of times.

Consider two implementations of the same function:
Implementation 1 (the old way):
function num_listing (n : word) : ansistring;
var i : word; num : string; result : ansistring;
begin
result := '';
for i := 0 to n do begin
str (n, num);
result := result + num; end;
num_listing := r
1. If a segment is deleted from an ansistring, e.g. ...
s := 'abcdefghijklmnop';
delete (s, 5, 6);
yielding s = 'abcdelmnop'
...does the system "shift" the 'lmnop' to the left, or does the string
get hooked together with pointers, thus saving much time with long strings?
2. Is there any documen

For all you Europeans, it is an American idiom meaning, "my HUMBLE contribution".

I need a programmer to build a customized I/O unit that will be
contributed to the FPC Unit Library. He/she must have expertise in
low-level I/O access for both Linux and Windows. The work would be on a
contract basis. For details (including the unit interface), please see

Thanks for the replies. I'm NOT interested in running on text-based
screens. I want to run in high resolution graphics and need a pixel
granularity mouse driver for that purpose. What do people suggest?

The mouse unit appears to support resolution only at "character"
granularity. What about pixels?
