   I'm glad it works for you!   
      
   I had MAJOR problems with it on Linux and to my surprise, they   
   neglected to package an uninstall script.   
      
   So I emailed them and asked them how I may install it after googling   
   for about 5 to 6 hours and to my surprise, I was told to stop whining   
   and realize it's free software and if I got a problem I should use the   
   mailing list.  Or words to that effect.   
      
   They're worse than GNU.

   But yes, I've heard good things about FPC.  I just stick to GPC   
   these days.
