StringUtils, FileUtils
by Frank Heckenbach 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi, in the current GPC version, I've included a StringUtils unit for general string handling routines (on a higher level than the built-in and RTS routines). Up to now, it only contains routines for a string hash table, but I'm planning to add some more routines. Perhaps some of you also have some routines to contribute (or features to request). Conditions for inclusion into this unit should be, IMHO: - Generally useful (not meant specifically for a certain program or something), - self-contained (not relying on an external library etc.), - new functionality compared to the existing routines (whereas the same or similar functionality under a different interface for compatibility purposes should go into other units, like GPCUtil for compatibility to `Turbo Power' units), - and, of course, compilable with the current GPC version, portable, bug-free, etc. ;-) The same goes for the FileUtils unit which has been there for some months already.

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.

operators pow and **
by Maurice Lombardi 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hi all, It seems that operators pow and ** cannot be redefined in gpc. Is that expected ? I work with djgpp / w98 dos box (should be irrelevant I think) Thanks Maurice -- Maurice Lombardi Laboratoire de Spectrometrie Physique, Universite Joseph Fourier de Grenoble, BP87 38402 Saint Martin d'Heres Cedex FRANCE Tel: 33 (0)4 76 51 47 51 Fax: 33 (0)4 76 51 45 44 mailto:Maurice.Lombardi@ujf-grenoble.fr

GPC on FreeBSD
by Frank Heckenbach 06 May '01

06 May '01

Hi, to install some of my programs, a FreeBSD user requires a current GPC version (preferably newer than 20000717). Is there any FreeBSD port available, or can someone provide one? (I have to experience with FreeBSD and no access to a FreeBSD machine myself.) If so, does it take care of installing cc1, cpp and libgcc.a as well, or will that have to be done manually? TIA, Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank(a)g-n-u.de, http://fjf.gnu.de/ GPC To-Do list, latest features, fixed bugs: http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/todo.html

Hi Chief, > > > I can send you a sample zip file if you want. > > > > Yes, please. > > Attached. It was produced by a Danish customer, and inside the zip file > is a bitmap that shows exactly what the other filenames should look like > (so that the issue is not confused any further). Windows handles them > correctly if I call OEMToChar (formerly OEMToAnsi) before displaying the > filenames or before calling Rewrite. I'm using: UnZip 5.32 of 3 November 1997, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by Greg Roelofs. Send bug reports to the authors at Zip-Bugs(a)lists.wku.edu; see README for details. and I cannot exactly say that it "fails most miserably". E.g., the small ligature ae is coded in the zip file as #$a1, and unzip converts it to #$e6 which is the correct latin1 code for this character. Both the zip listing (unzip -l) and the directory listing after unpacking look just like the included graphics, both in xterm (XFree86 3.3.2(68)) and on the console after setting the default font (setfont default8x16 ; loadunimap) -- I usually use a different font which does not contain all of the Danish characters, but those that it does are still shown correctly. So I conclude that the charset conversion code in unzip is indeed quite right. Frank -- Frank Heckenbach, frank(a)g-n-u.de http://fjf.gnu.de/ PGP and GPG keys: http://fjf.gnu.de/plan

agnes up again
by Frank Heckenbach 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hi, agnes is up again (tentatively), and the GPC pages should be available. Everyone who has an account on agnes, please check if your stuff is undamaged. Anyone else is also invited to try if the public services function as usual. Please report any problems to Peter or me.

national character sets
by Prof. A Olowofoyeku (The African Chief) 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Hi all Are there libraries or routines that are usable with GPC for dealing with character sets? For example the WinAPI has routines such as OemToChar (or OemToAnsi for 16-bit Windows) to deal with converting strings between "oem" character sets and "ansi". I can use these for what I am doing, but I would lose portability while so doing.
