While porting LCL to Delphi I had to rename some files to .pas. But why is there a mixture of .pp and .pas files in the LCL directory? As I know is the default file extension for fpc .pp.

Just one question. Why are you porting the LCL to delphi?

IMHO: .pas is pascal, Borland does not own it, Delphi is only one flavour of pascal.

Borland uses .pas by default. Other compilers usually use .p

Nice idea.

IMHO: .pas is pascal, Borland does not own it, Delphi is only one flavour of pascal.
