What about adding this text in front of the missing features ? * Partial support for debugging Pascal programs. Support for pascal language is partially included Available features are: -- Support for pascal specific types like sets. -- Automatic recognition of pascal sources based on standard extensions -- Pascal like display of types, variables and functions -- Pascal expression parser However many important features are not yetsupported. A partial list of problems: + + - Pascal string operations are not supported at all. + + - There are some problems with boolean types. + + - Pascal type hexadecimal constants are not supported + because they conflict with the internal variables format. + - Pascal Objects and Classes are not fully supported. - Symbol case insensitiveness not supported.
