I also forgot to mention in my previous post, there are some more sources of information. I have some e-books in INF format. They came from the Sybil Library. Sibyl was a Delphi-clone, much like FPC & Lazarus, but for the OS/2 and later the Windows platforms. The company later closed down, but open sourced much of their work. Anyway, the one ebook [tutorial.inf] has 10 chapters covering the Object Pascal language in a nice friendly manner. Easy to follow. There are some references to Sybil or OS/2, but the information about the language is sound, and using FPC you should be able to follow the examples without problems. The second ebook [oop_refg.inf] covers Object Oriented Programming using Object Pascal. Unfortunately this book is only available in German - I have plans to translate it to English soon. To view the books you need an INF viewer. You can download fpGUI's Docview binary for Windows or Linux from SourceForge [http://sourceforge.net/projects/fpgui/files/fpGUI/0.8/], or you can compile the latest version of DocView from the fpGUI repository. DocView is a small stand-alone application (450KB download) - no installation or 3rd party libraries are required. Some INF e-books are available at: http://opensoft.homeip.net/~graemeg/inf_books/ Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
