NAME
       fd2pascal - Free Pascal forms description to pascal program converter

SYNOPSIS
       fd2pascal [-compensate] [-altformat] [-main] [-callback] filename

DESCRIPTION
       fd2pascal reads a XForms designer file ( .fd ) and creates pascal code
       to create the form described in the file. The pascal code is written to
       a file with the same name as the input file, but with extension .pp if
       a file with that name already exists, then it will be renamed to a file
       with the extension .bak appended.

OPTIONS
       fd2pascal has a small number of options to control its behaviour:

       -altformat
              By default, a record type is emitted for the form definition,
              with a field for each widget (object) on the form. The alternate
              form declares a global variable for the form and each widget on
              the form.

       -compensate
              If this option is given then a call to fl_adjust_form_size is
              emitted after the form is created.

       -callback
              If this option is given, then a callback procedure is generated
              for each widget on the form.

       -main  By default, a unit is created which can be included in the uses
              clause of a program. If this option is specified, a program file
              is emitted instead.
