Hi,

I downloaded a while back the FPC 2.2.0 and 2.2.4 documentation in PDF and PS format. In both cases the chart.* files were incorrect (I believe).

The filename implies a "chart", so I gathered that it is a class chart / hierarchy of some kind. But when I view it, it is just a listing of the local compiler switches. Is this correct? In that case, I don't understand the logic behind the filename chart.xxx

Regards,

If you have a suggestion, I'll be glad to change the name.

So the name and content is correct? Umm, so how did you get to the name "chart"? :-) When I opened that file, I expected the class hierarchy chart - you know, like the one Borland gave with D7 & K3.

Umm, name suggestions (something I suck at):

compiler_switches.xxx ???

and for those poor folks with DOS 1.0, maybe:

comp_swh.xxx

I much rather prefer the first option though.

It is the "compiler switches quick reference chart". Or maybe better ""compiler switches quick reference card".

Ah, like the ones in the "Dummies guide of ..." books. :-) Then maybe "quickref.xxx" is a better name than "chart.xxx" - that's if we limit ourselves to 8.3 names (80's style).

Alternatively: fpc_quick_reference_card.xxx
