Last night, I got the full system unit to compile, including console output, so now you can use standard write/writeln. Unfortunately if you include both read/readln and write/writeln in your program, the program becomes too big to fit in the memory of the 48k ZX Spectrum, so there's lots of optimizations left to do... :) However, the fact that the system unit compiles fully, means that the code generator is starting to become stable and, therefore, you should have little trouble porting FPC to other Z80 platforms, such as the MSX - it's a matter of writing the platform-specific RTL functions, and implementing the specific things (linking and postprocessing the binary), required to produce a program, in a format, suitable to run on the MSX.
Well, I'm surprised and impressed you got it to work at all... Quite an achievement.
I suppose FPC is now probably the compiler working for the biggest number of CPUs/OSes - if it wasn't already.
