Good idea, van de Voort. Can someone confirm that fpc plays nicely with shebangs in a version after 2.4.4?<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div>And Schäfer, I respect Pascal for being a compiled language.

It's simply a convenience to write scripts, whether the language you're using is mostly interpreted or mostly compiled.</div>

</div>I'm not sure that went into 2.4.4 at the same time instantfpc itself did,<br>
possibly it is only in versions after 2.4.4.<br>
