Dear Free Pascal community,

I would like you make aware of a difficulty with FPC version 1.0.2 (win32). The

Users' manual for Free Pascal, version 1.00.0 1.8

says under

5.1.3 Options concerning files and directories

-FUxxx
Tells the compiler to write units in directory xxx instead of the current
directory. It overrides the -FE option.

This seems not complete information for W95 or NT. You have to tell in some explicit way that you want to use the current directory
as default (using complile switch "-FE." or environment "PATH .;%PATH%"). Otherwise you will not be able to compile anything.

Any comments highly appreciated.

Please reply also to me directly because I have not yet subscribe to any of the free pascal mailing lists.

Joachim
