I was talking about the programmers guide and language reference. The names may be off, but if you would have clicked that link I sent in my previous message, you would have noticed that that page is no wiki at all. > > If you are okay with the state of everything then move along. Read the pages. What is wrong with them? If something is wrong, then file a bug! Now, since something terrible has gone wrong in pointing you to the two documents I am talking about, I'll walk through the procedure with thee: - Go to www.freepascal.org - Click documentation (6th entry under general) - Select one of the docuemts, humour me and pick the language reference. - You are now here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/ref.html Now tell me (or file a report), what is so "terrible" about this? -- Ewald _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
