This a misunderstanding of way recursion can be flattened into a loop. It's
especially not useful because the transformed version still uses a stack, so it
doesn't execute in
Following a clean compile (Under XCode) I get:
_main, referenced from:
start in crt1.10.6.o
[ several dozen similar messages relating to user-defined routines snipped ]
fpc_shortstr_to_shortstr, referenced from:
[ snip ]
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit
an actual
parameter list for a syntactically correct function call.
The call should be excecuted except in one case (LRG page 96) ... the compiler
will not execute the function call ... when assigning a value to a procedural
type variable. This is clearly not such a case.

P.S
Sorry, I committed the cardinal sin of getting the subject line wrong.
Corrected now :-)

OK, I give up. How do you handle standard input and output files in FPC? When I
write something like:
nextcharacter := input^
I get error: 1: Illegal qualifier. Does FPC not support this standard Pascal
feature?
The documentation is extremely unhelpful in this area. The LRG just says
Me:
... nextcharacter := input^ ... Does FPC not support this standard Pascal
feature?
Jonas:
No, it does not. FPC mainly supports Borland-style Pascal dialects, and they
are not ISO Standard/Extended Pascal compliant.
I can live with that, but it would save newcomers a lot of trouble
... one big step for me.
Dear FP Seers --
I'm struggling to port a heap of software written in Think Pascal to Mac OS X,
and I'm finding the learning curve for Unix and Xcode extremely steep, with
huge quantities of impenetrable documentation for both. I'm sorry to say that
some of the FPC
