This package contains a freeware pascal compiler for 386+. 
The language and the runtime library are less or more compatible to TP 7.0
****************************************************************************
required system:
----------------
	- DOS 3.3
	- 386 processor
	- 640 kB RAM
        - hard disk with 8 MB free space
	
****************************************************************************
The current version is only an evalution version.
****************************************************************************
Installation:
Start the install program INSTALL.EXE and follow the instructions.

To test the compiler, change to the demo directory of the compiler
and type        
        ppc386 hello
	go32 hello

What's new (since 0.6.5), the list isn't complete because much code
is rewritten:
* compiler
  - MAKE and BUILD support by the compiler
  - GDB support
  - single, double, extended and comp data type supported
  - readln with all integer data types
  - interrupt and assembler keywords are supported
  - IS and AS operator
  - -So to switch function overloading off, allows to declare
    a procedure header only in the interface full
  - configuration file directive #section
  - (* ... *) comments
  - improved floating point generation, I tested it with some
    numerical problems (up to 2 times faster than TP)
    a problem is the sometimes the output (with formatting parameters 
    like a:7:4 )
* run time library
  - new GRAPH unit (with VESA support, works also with DPMI)
  - CRT unit works now with DPMI
  - new GO32 unit to support low level programming
  - SYSTEM.HEXTSTR, SYSTEM.BINSTR and SYSTEM.APPEND implemented
  
Removed bugs:
- some improvements in the register allocation strategie (internalerror(10))
- FOR counter works also with unsigned types
- procedure variables now also with functions as procedure type
- setftime and getftime work now correctly
- size field of searchrec contains now the correct value
- compiler generates now correct code for floating point operations
  with non commutative operators (/ and -)
- floating point comparsions work now
- compiler switches work now local (not only on procedure level)
- continue works now in FOR loops
- type conversation longint(pointer^) works
- int type/int type evalutes now to a float
- strings.pos works
- bug in dos.fsplit removed
- system.ord(b : boolean) scrambles no more the stack
