Hello,

I post this message just in case there is someone there keeping a record of places where FreePascal is distributed.
I have recently known of these two:

1) The Spanish programming magazine 'Sólo Programadores' offers FreePascal 1.00 in the number 70 (September2000 or perhaps August 2000). The CD usually contains lots of free and demos of compilers, and other programming tools, several cursis on programming, including Delphi (which might indicate that the Pascal language is somewhat healthy). It includes DOS and Win32 distributions, plus documentation. The strange thing is that it is located in:
\SOFTWARE\Entornos
instead of
\SOFTWARE\Lenguajes
(Entorno means 'Environment'), perhaps because of the IDE.

2) The Linux Mandrake distribution 7.1, includes FreePascal in their 'extras' CD (or that is what I was told, but I haven't been able to check it). I had to communicate with them due to problems with 7.0, and in the same message I suggested them to include both FPK and Lazarus. They said 'why not?', and now they include FPK, but they didn't tell me about Lazarus, so I don't know if it is there.
