Welcome to the new Friends-of-FPC!

Here you can find all kinds of information about the FreePascal Compiler. We have many tutorials and howtos as well as a selection of tools to help you with your programming. We also have some example codes for you. And if you want to contribute some information/ sources/ tools yourself you can do so.
Also we have finally relaunched the FoFPC forum. It's your chance for some Q&A about everything FreePascal.
