Thanks!
We need more web content and HOWTO's/Communities/Forums for component pascal..
I might install a forum/wiki on my server dedicated to blackbox talk and help
(all written in freepascal cgi) because there is serious lacking of blackbox
community/forum/wiki stuff out there..
Things need to be repeated in wikis, forums, and mailing lists in order for us
to find these gems like stdout units.. Heck even if it is in the documentation
it needs to be repeated several places. At least this is from my experience of
offering units to the fpc users.. many of the units are never found unless it is
repeated over and over again where to find them :-) Especially to NEWBIES like
myself who haven't even cut their teeth yet.
