[fpc-pascal]fp under Windows

[P.H.de.VRIES at ppsw.rug.nl]

With regard to the use of free-pascal (fp) under Windows (95 or 98 
or higher) I wondered whether fp still depends on the presence of a 
DOS-shell. In the future such DOS-shells will disappear from the 
Windows Operating system (I have heard that in Windows NT they 
have already vanished). Will it still be possible to run fp under such 
a windows system. After installing fp under Windows 95 I noticed 
that when you start fp it still opens a DOS-shell.
I would greatly appreciate an answer to this question in order to 
study the portability from pascal software to Windows.

Sincerely,

P.H. de Vries
