Frank:
My sysadmin set up a recent alpha but it crashed on a simple 'hello world' program. Is 20041218 the most recent stable version?
Yes, it is. However, an alpha should not be as unstable as in not being able to compile a simple program. (It's just been tested somewhat less thorough than a beta.) If you provide more information, readers of the list can probably help you set it up working. (Error messages, system and version, backend version, etc., the usual stuff ...)
My sysadmin did the installation:

My gpcc script is at ftp://ftp.ncifcrf.gov/pub/delila/gpcc in gpcc2.1 I just modified the location of the compiler.
I'm working on a Sun:
% uname -aimnprsvX SunOS strawberry 5.9 Generic_117171-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000System = SunOS
Good luck with that, it doesn't seem to be much to go on ...

Is there some place on the web site that tells this that I missed? (I don't see how you determined the above, for example.)
See the (2nd) URL in my sig. http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html
Thanks!! I didn't think to look for solved bugs under 'to do' ... ;-)
