Hello, world!
        This is an announcement of a new library for GNU Pascal:
          BO5
        It is only a pre-alpha release (version 0.01), but it should
        give you
          - some Borland-like tools such as Assign, FillChar, ParamStr,
            GetEnv, Random,
          - direct keyboard access via KeyPressed and ReadKey function,
          - direct screen access with colors.
        You need turbo-1.1-gpc-2.6.3 (i.e. the first bug fix for the 
        GPC with Borland extensions, released together with BO5 on
        19. December 1995) to compile BO5.
        BO5 is intended to run on *all* platforms on which GPC runs.
        If not, or if you have some other comment/suggestion/bug report,
        please write to
          pege(a)mail.theo-phys.uni-essen.de
        If your comment is of general interest for all GPC users, you
        should better write to the gpc-list
          gpc(a)hut.fi
        I have uploaded BO5 to kampi.hut.fi and to ftp.uni-augsburg.de.
        In Augsburg, it can already be downloaded from
          /pub/gnu/gnu-pascal/turbo-alpha
        For more information, please read the files README.BO5 and
        README.001.
        Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
        Yours,
            Peter
