| Old | New | Line | |

| 3 | + | ## Go32 | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Go32 is a so-called [DOS extender](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_extender). Use of this extender with FPC allows DOS programs to access more memory than would normally be possible with real-mode DOS (\>640kb?). | |

| 9 | + | - [The HTML version of SWAG](http://shareware.pcmag.com/product.php%5Bid%5D63036%5Bcid%5D296%5BSiteID%5Dpcmag) (SourceWare Archive Group). This is an 28MB archive of source code and examples, mostly for DOS and Windows 3.1 programming with Turbo Pascal. Many snippets not involving assembler should however work without change on Free Pascal and many others are useful for any programming environment. The sources are mostly public domain, often well-documented and quite interesting. Some download links are broken, but there are many mirrors so keep trying until you find one that works. | |
