Try this: The Free Pascal Compiler is a Turbo Pascal 7.0 and Delphi compatible 32bit Pascal Compiler. It comes with fully TP 7.0 compatible run-time library. Some extensions are added to the language, like function overloading. Shared libraries can be linked. Basic Delphi support is already implemented (classes, exceptions,ansistrings,RTTI). This package contains commandline compiler and utils. Provided units are the runtime library (RTL), free component library (FCL), gtk,ncurses,zlib, mysql,postgres,ibase bindings. http://www.freepascal.org/ Bob T. _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
