Using pfccomp or pint to run Pascal-FC programs

Question

I'm using the Pascal FC implementation for Windows Vista found on http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/burns/pf.html

I'm trying to run the dining philophers problem found on the link but I don't get how to make the compiler work.

C:\pascalfc-vista> pfc philchan.pas
