DOS ain't dead

Freepascal 3.0.2rc1 (Announce)

It is not yet announced on the official FPC webpage but the release candidate for new version is available for download from FTP servers. Here

I tried it only very briefly do far (the DOS, GO32V2 version, of course) however after many many years and many releases it seems to work without problems just out from the box.
The DOS IDE is included, even with debugging GDB support (with GDB 7.0!) and VESA support is on.
The example programs I tried compile without problems and run.
The only problem I noticed are the examples for PTC library. I tried FIRE.PP and FLOWER.PP and it ended with RTE-216. But maybe is it something trivial.
So, the FPC 3.0.2rc1 is worth to try!
