Dear Cassie,

Ok, I just downloaded  FreePascal and installed it and everything. Now

how do

I get it to run? I know a bit about computers, but I don't understand

this at

all. Please help!!!!! There is no .exe I can run, no icon, nothing that I

can

You might have missed to download some packages. You didn't mention which operating system you had tried it on but on Windows or similar, you do have a handful of EXEs to run (bin\win32\ppc386.exe is the compiler itself but the additional programs will also be required, depending on the task at hand).

In addition, there is a USER.PDF in the documentation which gives you a rather detailed description of how to install it and how to make the first test

run with the usual "Hello, world!" sample program.

Bye,
   Gábor
