FPK-Pascal version 0.6.2 does not include the installation program.

This is fixed now by these two files:
fpkpas62.zip  new complete archive, now including all files
fpkins62.zip  just the files that were missing previously

If you have already downloaded the old version of fpkpas62.zip
you need only to add the files from the smaller archive fpkins62.zip.

Both files are available on ftp.uni-freiburg.de in pub/pc/msdos/fpk-pascal
URL notation: ftp://ftp.uni-freiburg.de/pub/pc/msdos/fpk-pascal/index.html

The U.S. mirror currently still has the old version, this
will be fixed on monday. Meanwhile you can download the partial
archive from there and then get the (smaller) rest from here.
The size of the old archive is 851487. If your archive is larger
than this, then you already have the fixed version.
The size of fpkins62.zip is only about 61000 bytes.


Description of FPKINS62.ZIP:

This archive contains the files that were missing in FPKPAS62.ZIP.
Among them is the INSTALL program.

Do install FPK-Pascal 0.6.2 follow these steps:
- change to a new empty directory
- unpack the archive FPKPAS62.ZIP into this directory
- unpack FPKINS62.ZIP into the same directory
- start INSTALL.EXE and press Alt-I, then Enter
- choose what you want to install, then select OK.
- write down the information that is displayed on the
  screen after installation

Following these instructions should enable you
to use the compiler. I'm very sorry for this error.
Next time I get a new compiler version I will try
it before making it available on my Web page.
