[fpc-pascal] can the output object filename be specified on the command line?

[DONALD PEDDER]

    Just write a script to call the program and do the re-name.

e.g. create call_bar.pas_with_rename in a directory that's in your path 
with following code...
set homedir=(where-ever this stuff lives)
cd $homedir
bar.pas
mv bar.o ${1}.o

Then you can just run "call_bar.pas_with_rename foo_bar"

    I do this with heaps of stuff in DOS (but with batch-files obviously 
:-) ).
