Hi All,

There is a pascal project in this file http://www.markwatson.com/opensource/FastTag_Pascal.zip

The file extension .DS_Store, and makefile have not been seen before, what are they? And the code inside seems slightly different from Delphi.

Question: How can we convert it to delphi ide and compile it in delphi?

Thank you again for your kind help.

+1  A: 

Probably renaming Test.pas to Test.dpr is enough(or use open pascal project from the menu). You might need to fix a bit of code since FreePascal supports some language extensions Delphi doesn't. But you'll see that once you get compiler errors.

Just ignore the makefile, you won't need it.

.DS_Store is a file used on OS X to store the resource fork in archives or on filesystems that don't support them.

Makefile is a file used by GNU Make to perform operations.

The code itself was written for FPC, but there should be little reason why it can't be built under Delphi with a bit of tweaking.
