not a problem... >which which
    53 rwx 1  bin  54031 Apr 21 2000 12:25:36 X:\o2progs\gnu\tools\which.exe

yup, looks like i have (some of?) the gnu tools installed, also... but they are 
later in the path that this fpc install... fpc is at the head of the path and 
libpath...

ok...

ahhh... yes, i have taken great pains to ensure that all three default "stanzas" 
contain identical paths no matter which "selector" is chosen... i've only got 
one project that needs an additional path and that's because i've kept a portion 
of synapse local to it...

however, those are only related to finding source files... i do see where i can 
specify a path for tools in fpc and it is set to the default... with my 
$FPCVERSION change... none of my fp.cfg files have -FD in them and i don't know 
that i know where it should appear...

but this options hasn't been in the fp.cfg file ever that i know of... have i 
found another bug?
