How is free pascal an improvement over gpc in terms of graphics output?
I searched both the programmer's guide and the language reference guide for "graphics." I found nothing.

Perhaps your intent was to post in the "Quo vadis GPC" thread? I plea for discussions of GPC that have nothing to do with GRX be taken to that thread. Thanks.
