[fpc-pascal] The names of the various FPC documentation

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

Maybe it's just me (please let me know if it is), but looking at the
various FPC .pdf files in a folder, I am never sure which one I should
open for whatever I am looking for.

We currently have:
  ref.pdf
  user.pdf
  rtl.pdf
  prog.pdf
  fcl.pdf
  fpdoc.pdf

Out of those 3 seems to have logical names. rtl, fcl and fpdoc. The
problem I have is the 'user', 'ref' and 'prog' names.  Maybe somebody
can explain to me how I can remember the various information in each of
these. For example, if I want to know about a Compiler Parameter, or a
Language syntax, it is never clear which document I should open.

Now seeing that all (half-descent) OSes support long filenames these
days, couldn't we name them better.

For example:
  ref.pdf is actually about the Object Pascal Language. So why not name
  it Language_Reference_Guide.pdf or Language_Guide.pdf?

  prog.pdf is actually about the compiler support options like
  parameters etc... So name this Free_Pascal_Compiler_Guide.pdf

  user.pdf is actually and installation guide. So why not name
  it FPC_Installation_Guide.pdf


Yes I know I can rename them locally, but I also thing it makes sense to
give the documents better "default" names than ref, prog, user.

Just my 2c worth!

Regards,
