-Need the latest win32 compiler.
-Go to
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=1

-There is no Win32 compiler!
-Is Lazarus a Linux project only?

-do I need Lazarus 0.9.12?

-Does the Lazarus packet contain the FPC compiler? -?????

Hello,

The Lazarus installer comes with Free Pascal, so you only need to do one download to get both. It's located here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

If you don't want Lazarus and you only want the Free Pascal Compiler, then you need to go to Free Pascal website.

The website is here: www.freepascal.org/

The compiler download is here: http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/win32.html

-where is the docu?

Documentation of what?

Free Pascal documentation: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/index.html

Lazarus documentation:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/Lazarus_Documentation

-Does the Lazarus packet contain the FPC compiler?

Yes.

Also if you want the latest svn snapshot from last night, you can download the installer from the USA mirror at http://lazarus.maro.net/
