Hello.
Just out of curiosity why developers choiced the copy($subj,1,2) instead of standard for Pascal "pas" extension?

It comes from the fact that C files have .c, (some) C++ files .cc and some Pascal files .p -> .pp = Pascal Plus Plus :)

and .cpp
some Pascal files .p -> .pp = Pascal Plus Plus :)
Well, if Pascal++ this should be .ppp :)

I thought it was "portable pascal" :-)

That why I said "some".

Not if you use c -> cc, so p -> pp.
Jonas
.cc actually means C++ file

So .pp means Pascal++ :)

Cool! :)))
Now question for next flame, Why our Pascal isn't a Pascal++ or P++ or __pasplusplus. :-)))))
just imagine:
{$ifdef __pasplusplus}
....
{$endif}The Linux users will have heart attacked

No, initially it was Pascal Plus Plus :)

By the way, "ObjectPascal" was renamed to "Delphi langauge", should we rename our Pascal implementation to "Pascal++" ? ;)
Hello, List! No. "+" is the sign of death, and Pascal will lieve forever. HTH Anton…

^^^^^^^ - Really?
Hmmm... Pascal has redundant lexic, so Pascal Plus Plus is good choice :)

There are signs, I thing called "genealogic signs", at least in Austria. Something like:
* (and date) born on date
+ died
*+ born but died soon (not quite sure)
+* born dead (not quite sure)

FreePascal ist still Pascal, so I think not that Pascal++ is a good choice.
We should use inc(Pascal)

That's right. For example the OOP TCL is called "[incr tcl]" :))
