I'm doing it in Lazarus/Free Pascal again.

You reminded me of Pascal. I used it at school in 1994 (on an IBM RS/6000 I think). I was planning to do the AoC in Shen (I already know Scheme) but you make me want to do it also in Pascal. Thanks for sharing your solutions.

The presence of files with the "lpi" and "lps" extensions means you are using an IDE ? Moreover, I thought the extension for Pascal source code was "pas" but I see "lpr". Why ?

Lazarus is the GUI IDE based on Free Pascal, and for some reason I think they use LPR to mean Lazarus PRogram.

I could very well be wrong.
