Hello,

I have a little question about these subfolders in the compiler folder, they 
are called:

'i386' and 'x86'

What are these folders, they seem samiliar ?

(cpubase.pas seems to be missing from i386 instead there is an include file 
called cpubase.inc)

I'm a bit confused about these folders, what exactly are these ? Why are 
there two for what seems to be the same "platform" ?

Isn't i386 the same as x86 ?

Perhaps both folders are needed for 80386, 80486 and pentium targets ??? 
(win32?)

Bye,
  Skybuck.
