GPC does not automatically recognize the suffix `.dpr' for Pascal.

Any plans to support this (perhaps in Delphi mode)?
OK, it will be in the next release (in any mode, don't think this should cause problems) as well as `.pp'. Hmm, perhaps we should invent 3 or 4 extensions of our own, seems like every Pascal compiler has to use different extensions... ;-)
Yes. IIRC some use '.p'. So, if we support '.pas', '.dpr', '.pp', and '.p', I think we would have covered all eventualities ;)
Frank: Delphi supports 'AssignFile' and 'CloseFile' (as synonyms for 'Assign' and 'Close'). Can we support these (again perhaps in Delphi mode)?
They are already there (in the GPC unit).
Ok - I guess I should have looked there first (I was expecting it to be built in, like 'Assign' and 'Close' - but I suppose that the GPC unit is fine as well).
