Thanks: Pascal for Linux?

[Alexander Kushnirenko <kushnir@pccmu1.fnal.gov>]

Hi,

Thanks for the info.  I just tried both.  IMHO Free Pascal is better, it knows 
Borland procedures from CRT unit for example, GNU does not (well that was 
not their goal, as they say).  Compatibility with Borland Turbo Pascal is 
imprortant to me, so I would prefer Free Pascal.

Free Pascal has RPM, but no DEB package.... I think we may want to have it...
