This is a sentence from http://www.freepascal.org/advantage.html 'If you have code in another language, like C or assembler, just use favorite compiler for it and call it from Free Pascal.' What does it mean? I am not so clear.

I guess that is another way of saying that you can compile C program modules (f.ex. DLL's) in C and have you FPC-program call the resulting DLL functions even though it's not produced by FPC itself. In other words you don't have to translate your C source to Pascal in order to utilize it from a Pascal program, using FPC.
