Gale,

The issue is the line endings. The archive was not set up properly.

The FPC directory and toolchain was removed because FPC cannot compile the =
toolchain.

 I suspect you're getting non-unix text file issues somewhere too with that=
 problem.
=20
 As a general observation, all the text files in the distribution should ha=
ve a unix text file conversion/sanitizing process run on them just as a pre=
ventative to avoid any further problems with this type of issue.
=20
 There's something of a chicken or egg irony with the flip tool. If you nee=
d a working copy of the tool to fix the source code text files needed to bu=
ild it but you don't have one, how are you going to get the needed tool bui=
lt? And if you have some other means of fixing the text files why bother wi=
th building a different tool that you don't really need for the project?

 > *** No ip_pascal was found
=20
 But this is the issue that will require a lot of work to get everything wo=
rking - none of the required pascal compilers (gpc version 20070904 or IP P=
ascal) have working implementations on non-ancient MacOS versions. The conf=
igure --help text implies fpc is a suitable pascal compiler; however, tryin=
g to use fpc won't even get past the configure compiler availability checki=
ng. Once past that, you're still missing the fpc tuned build directory like=
 exists for gpc and IP Pascal.
=20
 I don't have any idea on how difficult or easy it would be to get it worki=
ng with fpc on MacOS.
