Hi,

Free Pascal (old FPK Pascal) 0.99.0 is available.
It's a free (GPL) 32 bit TP compatible pascal
compiler for DOS and Linux.

The DOS version is available at:
http://www.brain.uni-freiburg.de/~klaus/fpk-pas/

A little bit later the Linux version at:
http://tfdec1.fys.kuleuven.ac.be/~michael/fpk.html

The sources of compiler and rtl will be released with some
delay (tomorrow?), it's a problem of coordination.

News (compared with version 0.9.2):
 * compiler
    - a lot of bugs removed and some improvements
    - intel styled inline assembler (try -Rintel)
    - better TP compatibility (try -So)
 * runtime library
    - go32 v2 support (this is now the default, don't assume that go32
v1 is supported
      in future versions)
    - a lot of bugs removed and some improvements
    - all TP standard units are now included (except TV)
 * other
    - new (and much better) docs

Mouseproblems in FPK Pascal 0.99

I have problems vith mouse in graphicsmode 800*600 256 colours on S3
Trio64V+
(765)
I can't get the mouse on screen in graphics mode.

function check_mouse in fmouse unit tells me that mouse is not present when
it
should be
present. The mouse is not on the screen.

function mousereset in mouse unit tells me that mouse is present
but the mouse is not on the screen.

On the textscreen the mouse is functioning well.

How do I use VGA ?
Can I get a short program example.
