Dear FPC list,

A couple of completely newbie questions (blush):

>What is the limit of Set Type size in fpc? (Its 256 for Turbo Pascal for

Windows?)

>I'm attempting to compile a program originally written for TP for Windows

1.5 and received a fatal error for not finding unit WINTYPES -- I wasn't able to find it in the source tree of the program and wonder if it's a TPW systems unit and if there's any fpc equivalent (and where to find it).

Thanks in advance for any help and hints.

Solved problem #2 -- WINTYPES (and WINPROCS) need to be replaced by WINDOWS. In this context, I would still appreciate know whether there's a set of compiler switches/configuration parameters that would be most compatible with TPW. Thanks.

Greetings,
I think this should be documented in the Free Pascal programmer's manual... Memory Issues Chapter.

Yes -- the set type limit is described in the programmer's guide, ch.8, Memory Issues. Thanks so much.
