Hi to .. any old Turbo Pascal hackers out there, who've used fpc on FreeBSD. I have some astronomy and sound related code from last century that I want to resume working on. Mostly lots of float number-crunching and file processing, no gui stuff till the underlying processing all goes. I've tried some other languages, but can only really think straight into Pascal, to fully declare my disability - please don't try to cure me :) Is fpc's IDE usable, like good ol' TP6 and 7, never mind Delphi? Docs seem vast, I'm wondering if there's a simple guide to basic compilation, but basically I'd just like to hear that it's working ok for someone and is worth the learning curve? cheers, Ian
