Hi Everyone,

I hope you guys don't kill me, but I have run the latest FPC source through a source formater (well, sort of). I only did this because I wanted to study the compiler in detail (BTW: you guys did a great job!) However my main problem was to read the source the way it has been programmed (especially the case sensitivity of the identifiers made it difficult). I know that this is just a matter of taste and I certainly don't want to degrading anybody's work -- again, it is amazing what you did -- but if one is not used to it, it is almost impossible to read and understand the source.

Now, I would like to know if it is allowed to put the results as html's on the net (as a 1.2MB zip file since the html's are 14MB and I don't have that much space on my server). The html's are made from the snap dated 20.04.2001.

Best regards,
wb

This is allowed. The compiler is open source, so you can do that.

Well, if someone is interested, the compiler source in html can be found at
