[fpc-devel]Development compiler changes

[Peter Vreman]

Things that have been added or changed in the development compiler:

   11/11/00   default parameter support
   11/11/00   you can declare a pointer type with directive far; to make
              it a farpointer. Only usefull for dos.
   11/11/00   ptr() returns a farpointer instead of pointer. Becuase the
              pointer result would be useless and only causing segmentation
              faults. With the farpointer this would already be detected at
              compiletime. To get the code working you can declare a pointer
              with far; like:

              type
                farlongint = ^longint;far;
              var
                timer : farlongint;
              begin
                timer:=ptr($40,$6c);
                writeln(timer^);
              end.
