I created a Hello World project using Free Pascal

Hi,

I created a Hello World project using Free Pascal.

https://github.com/ikelaiah/fp-hello-world

It is a simple module and can be used as a starting point for any Hello World project.

A more complete entry for Program won't print "Hello, World!", amended for the corporate world:

• Report issue to legal department
• Report issue to manager
• Report issue to IT department
• Apply for overtime compensation
• Wait for IT front line support to contact you
• Explain to IT that yes, your PC is plugged in and running
• Explain to IT that it is not necessary to reinstall the OS
• Explain to IT that you don't need .NET (and hence don't need to upgrade .NET)
• Go grab a cup of coffee, mention this to a colleague in the kitchen
• Colleague then mention changes in the domain policy that blocks compilation and execution of unsigned code
• Explain possible cause to IT
• IT explains that they can do nothing about the domain policy
• Random other colleague mentions you have to apply for special admin rights to work around the security policy
• Apply for said admin rights
• Manager needs a motivation for why you require admin rights before approving the request
• You motivate this by explaining the virtue of the Pascal language and the potential improvement in your performance if you can unlock this tool
• IP contacts you to sign away your IP rights to any work product you may generate with this fancy new tool called "FPC"
• After some tie passes everything lines up and you manage to run Hello World!
• Manager is impressed with the emoji:text ratio of the output and asks you to give a demonstration to senior management
• You try to demo Hello World but it gets blocked by virus scanner...

@ccrause, thanks for the valuable tutorial. I couldn't resist trying to implement it (see attached project).
