p2pnet.net News:- “After 5 years of development, Free Pascal 2.0 is ready.”

So says Free Pascal’s Daniël Mantione, posting on OS News, going on:

“With the new compiler, its authors believe they are ready to become a larger open source development platform.”

Free Pascal is a GPL compiler for 32-bit and 64-bit CPU architectures such as Intel 32/64 bit, AMD 32/64 bit, SPARC, PowerPC and Intel ARM. It is language compatible to Turbo Pascal, Delphi (till version 7), and partly Metrowerks Pascal. It supports many operating systems: Dos, Linux, Windows, OS/2, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, Novell Netware, Mac OS classic, Mac OS X and MorphOS.

“It comes with a cross-platform Run-Time Library, many interfaces to existing libraries, and a large set of non-visual classes in the Free Component Library,” says Mantione, adding:

“Last but not least, a text-mode IDE exists on various platforms, and FPC comes with 1800 pages of documentation.”
