   I started with TP4 / TP5 on DOS also, but have not done anything    
   with it for many years.  Also am looking to re-learn things, and    
   with FreePascal.  I've now got it (FP) installed on Linux, along    
   wiht Lazarus, and am planning to fiddle with it as time permits.     
   Maybe we can all revive this echo a little with questions as we go    
   along...  :-)   
      
   One of my issues at the moment is that a lot of what I did write    
   years ago (just a few small utilities for personal use) relied on    
   some "third party" Units.  Specifically the "Turbo Technojocks    
   Toolkit" units.  Have already tried to compile one of those units    
   on FP and it fails.  So, my small programs can't (as currently    
   written) be compiled on FP.  I wish somebody with the skills    
   would/could "port" those units over to FP.  I suppose there are    
   probably some similar units available for FP, but haven't had time    
   to look into that much yet.
