I need some help. I just downloaded and installed the fourth compiler down on this list
[image: Inline image 1]
to the c drive on my 64 bit Windows 10 machine. I used the default directory suggested by the installation program.
The readme file seems to indicate that if I run a command prompt window and cd to the demo directory in the FPC tree, I can type "fpc hello" and the compiler will compile a program apparently named "hello" and run it to produce the printed word hello on my command prompt screen. My first problem is that I don't see a demo directory, and when I do a search in windows explorer it does not find one either. Is the demo directory still available, or has that changed? For your reference, below you will find a listing of the FPC tree as it appears in windows explorer. [image: Inline image 2]

How do I use this compiler now that I have it?

You need download and install third compiler in list. This compiler allow you to create 32-bit windows applications. Then you can install fourth into the same directory - it allows you build 64-bit applications. You can try do this in reverse order (just install third when you have fourth already installed).
OS bitness in all cases no matters for compiler (only for finally produced applications).

Are you shure? How this is possible? I received email from 'fpc-devel [at] lists.freepascal.org'
Question author can send to this list without registration? Should I repeat answer to original author's address?

the original post didn't arrive here like that... it arrived here from the list as from "Gina Hansen "

yes, it has been this way for a long time... you just don't get any responses unless people reply directly to the OP or you specifically trudge through the list looking for replies...
Should I repeat answer to original author's address?
the post you are replying to said that they were forwarding the response via the CC to the OP...

Which I did just a few minutes after that post showed up in my inbox (actually fpc-devel folder). Did not get any response from her back though...
