It appears that FPDoc Version 2.6.4 [2015/08/14] doesn't support the "otherwise" clause in Pascal "case" statements (though the compiler supports "otherwise" just fine.) I'm a self-starter, and I'd be motivated to patch FPDoc myself, if it's under active development.program_brand_new.pas Lines 296-303 (from Richard Dawkins' Blind Watchmaker: Arthromorphs)case (GetWRefCon(whichWindow)) of{Do the appropiate window} 2: DrawGrowIcon(whichWindow);{Draw the Grow box} otherwise{Handle others } begin{Others} end;{End of the else}end;{End of the case} The error message returned is:program_brand_new.pas(300,18): Expected "," at token "begin" in file program_brand_new.pas at line 300 column 18

FPDoc is maintained by the FPC team, not by Lazarus.

Great.

Thanks, I'll go to the proper channel, and patch it myself if I can. I'm working for Richard Dawkins (resuscitating his "Blind Watchmaker" software so that it can run on modern computers) and I'm highly motivated....if I can contribute to the function of the Free Pascal project I will be very happy indeed.
