[fpc-pascal] FreePascal 2.0.2 available

[Adrian Veith]

Congratulations,

with fpc 2.0.2 it's the first time, we were able to compile and run our 
dbGonzales database server (complete delphi code). In earlier versions 
of fpc, we always had some problems (mostly with variants), which caused 
runtime crashes.
First tests show that the execution speed of  the server is about 10% - 
30% slower than the same code compiled with delphi (win32). On the first 
glance, i would say, that these performance problems are in the string 
related routines. But this is really a minor problem, since with fpc we 
are now able to port to other platforms and it seems that the code 
quality improves with each release of fpc.

Thanks for this great compiler.

Adrian Veith.
