[fpc-pascal][FPC; VP; Delphi] Software News

[Thomas Schatzl]

Note that due to a problem with Delphi 5 the CPU package has been
reuploaded.... due to a small problem with the 'overload' identifier.

And btw, these are the platforms I have already tested current package
successfully:

FPC 1.1: Linux / Win32 / GO32V2
VP 2.1b: Win32 / DPMI32 / OS/2 (compilation only)
Delphi 2
Delphi 5 [reported]

Untested:
FPC 1.1: OS/2
VP 2.1b: OS/2

I am looking forward that they work nevertheless - no code has been changed
since the last release ;) I'd be glad if somebody could run + test there
....

Thank you in advance,
    Thomas
