>Description:
        There is some slightly outdated info in the "tools" section of
        the developers' handbook, which says there are no Pascal
        compilers and no IDE's on FreeBSD.

 Notice how the indentation is screwed up here.  That's because the
 document uses tabs to indent, and you used spaces.  Please don't do
 that.  It looks like there are some other parts in this document that
 do that, but that doesn't make it right.
 
 There are similar problems below.
 
 Other than that, this looks pretty good.
 
 Thanks.
