This is the user's manual for Free Pascal. It describes the installation and use of the
Free Pascal compiler on the di erent supported platforms. It does not attempt to give
an exhaustive list of all supported commands, nor a de nition of the Pascal language.
Look at the Reference guide for these things. For a description of the possibilities and
the inner workings of the compiler, see the Programmers guide. In the appendices of
this document you will nd lists of reserved words and compiler error messages (with
descriptions).
This document describes the compiler as it is/functions at the time of writing. First consult the
README and FAQ les, distributed with the compiler. The README and FAQ les are, in case of
con ict with this manual, authoritative.
