  4. If you want to build a m68k version to cross compile from i386 to m68k
  5. use the batch file

  10. -----------------------------------------
  11. 28/01/99 : implicit conversion from boolean to integer is not possible
  12. anymore (solved several bugs) but this could lead to errors
  13. on previously accepted code (PM)
  14. 01/02/99: c styled comments are supported (/* ... */), mainly
  15. for the Sibyl sources of Medigo (FK)

  17. if the helper routine should free the instance and

  20. as in TP

  24. find it in the base.zip package (PFV)
  25. 24/03/99 new directives UNITPATH,INCLUDEPATH,OBJECTPATH,LIBRARYPATH to
  26. set the searchpaths where to find the files for that module (PFV)
