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 fieldfor 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 afterthe 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 ofa program. If this option is specified, a program file is emitted instead.
