If you can repeat it, compile with another Extended Pascal compiler, for example Prospero's one. If that fails too, there is really something wrong with the code. But I suspect gpc. You're using which OS? Groetjes, Berend (-: fido: 2:281/527.23 email: berend(a)beard.nest.nl

Re: GNU's Bulletin: GNU Pascal news item?

According to Bulletin Editor: > We could use an item on GNU Pascal for the Forthcoming GNUs column in > the next bulletin. Would someone on this list care to write a short > piece, or forward this request to someone who could do it? I am just writing an announcement for the next official release of GNU Pascal (to be released as soon as some administrative stuff is done), so I could write that piece, too. When I have a draft, I will post it to the GPC list, so we can improve it together. Okay?

GNU's Bulletin: GNU Pascal news item?
by Bulletin Editor 23 Nov '96

We could use an item on GNU Pascal for the Forthcoming GNUs column in the next bulletin. Would someone on this list care to write a short piece, or forward this request to someone who could do it?

[Q] latest g77 and gpc for OS/2 with emx09c ? - RE

Try to run the gpc-1.2-2.7.2 pre-release EMX binary, compiled for emx09b, ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/gpc-2.7.2/emx/gpcdev.zip, 1059 kB. I will provide an emx09c version soon. > Anything else I need to know before installing (it'll probably go right > on a Warp 4 system)? Cheers. It should install just like the other EMX binary distributions. In case you encounter any problems please let us (gpc(a)hut.fi) know, because we want to fix all these problems prior to the final 2.7.2 release. (* BTW: Thanks for advertising for GPC in the EMX list. ;*) Yours, Peter e-mail: peter.gerwinski(a)uni-essen.de home address: D\"usseldorfer Str. 35, 45145 Essen, Germany WWW: http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~peter/

[Q] latest g77 and gpc for OS/2 with emx09c ?

Hi, I suppose I'll be installing emx09c + XFree soon but I also rely on gpc and g77 on OS/2, which work beautifully with emx09b so far. (Thanks to all the dudes involved, esp. EM, Peter Gerwinski, and Michael Holzapfel!) Now my question -- which and where are the latest, emx09c compiled or at least compatible/approved os/2 versions of g77-0.5.18 and gpc? URL or ftp description with file size/date information would be much appreciated. Anything else I need to know before installing (it'll probably go right on a Warp 4 system)? Cheers. Cheers!

urgent: gpc-961112 bad
by JanJaap van der Heijden 12 Nov '96

12 Nov '96

Hello, Sorry, somehow a buglet I thought I'd squashed has raised it's ugly head again in gpc-961112. Don't bother downloading -- it won't work. I'll remove it. <sigh> JanJaap -- "Nothing shocks me, I'm a scientist", Indiana Jones

new GPC/djgpp-v2.01 binaries
by JanJaap van der Heijden 12 Nov '96

12 Nov '96

Hello folks, I upgraded my djgpp setup to v2.01 and rebuilt GPC for this setup. This time I checked whether no files are missing from the binary distribution, let me know if you still have problems. FAQ and short installation instructions are included. Everything available at ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/djgpp/ I also uploaded a development snapshot of RHIDE which can do stepping, tracing etc. with GPC. PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS FILE !!!! It's meant to be a demo of things to come, I don't do RHIDE so I can't help you if it doesn't work for you.

I suggest you search the djgpp mailinglist archives at http://www.delorie.com with keywords like "vesa" and "linear" and search game related djgpp links such as: http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/ I know http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/vbe.zip is a small example source of how to get at VBE 2.0 linear framebuffers, with both near and far pointers. You'll have to convert it to Pascal yourself. The VBE 2.0 spec is online at ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/vbe20-11.exe Hope this helps, JanJaap -- "Nothing shocks me, I'm a scientist", Indiana Jones
