Maybe because these modes could be used to ensure that the developer is able to switch back to TP/BP or Delphi. If these modes accepted features which TP/BP or Delphi don't understand, switching back would become difficult. Or you could create a source file which you want to be compatible with FPC and with TP. If you use octal, it won't work. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
