I believe (I may be wrong) - that the complete Turbo Vision port for DJGPP is supplied as part of the RHIDE sources. So, all you may need to download is rhide14s.zip Best regards, The Chief Dr Abimbola A.

According to Kevin A. Foss: > EP does have an 'otherwise' > feature and my reading of 10206:6.9.3.5 is that like BP's "else" usage, > "otherwise" doesn't require a begin/end for statement sequences either. I agree about how you read ISO-10206:6.9.3.5. It is like BP, just with `otherwise' instead of `else'. Without a `:' after `otherwise'. So GNU Pascal was wrong here from the very beginning. Unless there are other compilers to keep compatibility with, I will change that. Peter Dipl.-Phys.

Under Linux, >you have to use library functions and/or system calls instead. I am working on an update to bpcompat (soon to be ready), which should compiler under Linux. The current version should compile of you define "__UNIX__" at the beginning of SYSTEM.PAS. This is one of the main things in the update - it will define "__UNIX__" automatically, for Linux, and SVR4. I am compiling a "DEFINES.TXT" to record all the predefined things in various ports of GPC (generated by the GPC compiler for that platform). At the moment, I have the defines to DJGPP, EMX, CYGWIN32, Linux (Elf), Solaris, and Digitsl Alpha. If you have any more, please send them to me. Best regards, The Chief Dr Abimbola A.

EFLIB port to GNU Pascal and FPK Pascal.
by Johan Larsson 07 Oct '97

07 Oct '97

Hi everybody, I have written an OO framework for Borland Pascal. The framework includes classic data structures, math and soon a complete component-based GUI with an event-driven machinery similar to the Java PL. The framework, EFLIB, is written in about 30,000 lines of commented and readable source code. I have made a lot of efforts to make my framework easy to use and modify. I believe porting is not a too difficult task if the target platform is close to Borland Pascal in standard syntax (like GNU, Delphi and FPK). I am looking for people interersted in porting the framework to other Pascal platforms. The framework is called EFLIB. It is free --- or rather, the soon-to-come release 3 will be free and include the full source code for non-commercial use. A license will soon be ready. If this sounds interesting, please feel free to contact me and give me your opinions. I also encourage you to browse to the following URLs to learn a little more about EFLIB and the ideas behind the project: - http://ftp.sunet.se/EFLIB/Features/News/ Newest happenings in EFLIB. - http://ftp.sunet.se/EFLIB/Features/Cool/ Coolest things in EFLIB. - http://www.ts.umu.se/~jola/EFLIB/Manual/Guide/ The User's Guide for prototype 5. - http://www.ts.umu.se/~jola/EFLIB/Developers/ Platform ports, friendly environments, etc. - http://www.ts.umu.se/~jola/EFLIB/Users/ Mailing list, etc. - ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/EFLIB/ FTP for files to download (go to prototypes). Best Regards, Johan Larsson E-MAIL jola(a)ts.umu.se HOME http://www.ts.umu.se/~jola/ Also, REMEMBER to check out http://www.ts.umu.se/EFLIB/ for a free application framework - SIMPLY SOPHISTICATED.

According to Christian Bockermann: > > I've a little problem. I want to open an ASCII-file in one of my programs > and then edit it. Of course, I did this with TP under MS-DOS, but I don't > have any plan how this works in Linux ?! Almost like with TP. `Append' becomes `Extend', and with anything older than gpc-971001 you need the `Assign' procedure from the BPcompat package. But then it should be the same: Var Z: String ( 1024 ); Assign ( MyFile, 'foo.bar' ); reset ( MyFile ); while not eof ( MyFile ) do readln ( MyFile, Z ); close ( MyFile ); > Does anyone know what to do ? I just downloaded the bpcompat-packet but > the files don't compile under Linux. (I'm trying to get some of the units into > a Linux-version) That's a good thing! :-) The problems you are having when compiling these Units under Linux come from the missing DPMI stuff and other DOS specifica. Under Linux, you have to use library functions and/or system calls instead. Good luck, Peter Dipl.-Phys.

Hi again all, Just FYI for you RedHat 4.1 users, GPC still does not play well with that version of RedHat. I hope to know more when I get the most recent ver of RedHat here. Thanks & keep up the GREAT work!! Ken L.

Question/suggestion for GNU Pascal! (fwd)
by Jan-Jaap van der Heijden 06 Oct '97

06 Oct '97

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 06 Oct 1997 20:09:48 +0100 From: Johan <u31102265(a)d1o25.telia.com> To: j.j.vanderheijden(a)student.utwente.nl Subject: Question/suggestion for GNU Pascal! Hello! I did not know where to send this. There were so many authors. Maybe you can forward this to the right person(s), unless you are the right one. I am a quite experienced computer programmer, used to both unix and msdos/windos. Still I found the installation documentation very troblesome to read, and not to say perform. (I am talking about the MS-DOS/Windows version. I will manage it, but it will take a lot of unneccesary time, if everyone have to find out themselfs. Why cant there be an automated installation program for the basic functionality in GNU pascal. A one command, and all is installed and ready to run way. That would be the best, but second best, a step by step description, for what to do, if you have to install all from scratch, like this: 1: Download theese files: <insert the needed files here> 2: Expand the files to theese directorys. 3: Start the compiler by: make ... 4: Finished. //Johan
