Dear sir/madam
I downloaded a free pascal compiler w32102.zip and have installed it on my hard drive. It is in the default folder pp. However I cannot get the compiler working. I am executing the program by a shortcut on my desktop with the target C:\pp\bin\win32\fp.exe. This starts the compiler and i have entered a program but when I attempt to compile it i get an error message that the program cannot open the required folder.

I have inserted the line suggested in the documentation supplied in my Autoexec bat file.

Can you help
Thank you

David Anderson

There are some problems with the 1.0.2 IDE:

* the default target is set to go32v2, you have to change it to win32 (in the Compile menu)
* if you open a file in another directory than the current one, you get an error when trying to compile it. You can fix this by using the "Change directory..." command in the File menu to change the current directory to the same one as where the file you want to compile resides.

These problems are already fixed in the current development version and as such will be resolved in the next release.

Jonas
