Yeah, I know to chmod my scripts before dot-slashing them. It's just that fpc can't handle shebangs, and I don't want to have to choose either scripting or compiled. I like my Pascal code to be work in either mode.<br clear="all">

Thanks ik. Merf, it appears fpc can't compile when a shebang is added. In future versions, can fpc treat shebangs as comments so that instantfpc code could be compiled like normal Free Pascal code?<div><br></div><div>
