- I haven't been using freemacs for some time, so all the following
- comes drom my memory and could be a little wrong.
-
- I have got some documentation with my freemacs (try M-x info),
- and I have the source code for the modes and some documentation
- about MINT, the language the modes are implemented with. I also
- have written a pascal mode, which is not perfect and a little slow
- for some things, but generally does a good job, so it is possible
- to write modes for mere mortal men or women.

-
- If you are interested in the pascal mode you may send me a mail,
- (try it), the docs and MINT sources should be available via ftp.
