[fpc-devel]Documentation of default environment under Windows

[Joachim von Jena]

Dear Free Pascal community,

I would like you make aware of a difficulty with FPC version
1.0.2 (win32). The

Users' manual for Free Pascal, version 1.00.0 1.8

  says under

5.1.3 Options concerning files and directories

-FUxxx
       Tells the compiler to write units in directory xxx
instead of the current
       directory. It overrides the -FE option.

This seems not complete information for W95 or NT. You have
to tell in some explicit way that you want to use the
current directory
as default (using complile switch "-FE." or environment
"PATH .;%PATH%"). Otherwise you will not be able to compile
anything.

Any comments highly appreciated.

Please reply also to me directly because I have not yet
subscribe to any of  the free pascal mailing lists.

Joachim
