[fpc-pascal] can someone please email me a zipped hello world binary program MIPS big endian for testing on my MIPS hardware?

[Dennis Poon]

Mark,
Yes, please kindly send both test executables to me.
Also, if you say the compiler has changed since last christmas, do you 
know how  I can download the fpc sources version of last christmas?

Thanks a lot.

Dennis
