Hi Scott,

thanks - I've downloaded your archive and will explore the problem.

At present the ISO libraries are unfinished, but eventually using
the compiler with the -fiso option should be sufficient.

ahh well - I've just implemented INTEGER8, CARDINAL8, 16, 32, 64 and
REAL32, REAL64, REAL96, REAL128 and WORD16, WORD32, WORD64.  Also
implemented are extensive runtime range checking (moderate compile
time checking) and the start of exception handling.  Now I'll be
rebuilding, debugging and checking the changes back into CVS.

Difficult to say when it will stabilise (rough estimate - about a week
I guess) but the code is written..

regards,
Gaius
