The files are completed compiled with FPC, no renaming of VPascal object
files.
The only explanation I have that it must have to do with the size of the
file; the .o has 8 MB and just defines some CONST and VAR structures, no
code.
Interesting (maybe):
the .O which ppc386 made has 8.380.376 bytes,
the .OBJ made by vp has 7.002.097 bytes.

The program compiles wonderfully with VirtualPascal; I wanted to
recompile
it with FPC.
I will be just guessing because you haven't supplied any information
about the program which you try to link, but I would suspect that you
might have tried to link an externally created object file
(u_unidat.o? - possibly just renamed from u_unidat.obj as previously
used with VirtualPascal?) and it has object file format not supported
by our linker. If this assumption is correct, you might need to re-
create the object file in the right format supported by FPC and/or
the GNU linker.
