Free pascal is an exellant pascal compiler developped under the GLP licence.
It works on many platforms, such as Linux and Windows.
The main page is : http://www.freepascal.org/
Using Free pascal, I developped over 80 commented examples, and the beginning
of an object library. You can download :
- The readme06.txt file, explaining the examples
and the library units. (63 Kb)
- The sources of the examples + library.
(1'360 Kb) (Look also at the little readme.txt with the sources)
Example tEx065.pp, is a quit big program which plays at minesweeper.
In some later
developpements, many comments are in french.
I used ConText, as described in the previous page.
You can download it at : http://www.contexteditor.org/
If you have problems with the .ZIP files, or simply want to use the bes file
manager under window I know, dowload the shareware Windows Commander at the
URL : http://www.ghisler.com
For me it replaces so many other utilities at the same time. A button launch
bar, an FTP program, many decompacter such as unzip, a file comparaison program,
a directory comparaison program, many files viewer (It you download IrfanView
and use it with Window Commander addOns) and more. It even dedtected once a
virus in a computer where I worked, simply by telling us that the executable
file has been modified.
For fun.
