FPC comes in two flavors (which are both included in the file you downloaded):

* one is a so-called command line compiler. This means that normally, you use a text editor (preferably one which has been writtin with programming in mind) to type the pascal code, then save the file and then execute the compiler (ppc386.exe) with the file you just saved as parameter (so "ppc386 somefile.pas").

* the other is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This is the easiest to work with annd provides both an editor and easy access to the compiler. For FPC, it's called fp.exe and it's put in the \pp\bin\win32 directory. Unfortunately, the IDE included with version 1.0.4 is still only beta, so it still crashes every now and then.

If you use windows, you can also try the FPIDE
(http://212.120.113.158/fpide) or FPE
