Thanks for the update.
According to my own notes [2] it may have been this, but = also the use of some non-standard Prospero extensions or API (OO? Memory = mapped files? w32 GUI support? Serial bus? Printing? Plotting?). Back = then the objective was not to replace Prospero but to find a way to mix = languages, and gpc+gcc made it possible to link object files into the = same executable. Before trying to make our massive code base compatible = with gpc, I looked for a different way to do that. When I found one that = allowed us to continue to use Prospero, which had served us well over = many years, I stopped using gpc.

I understand decision to not use gpc. Simply in the past I looked at list of features of Prospero Pascal and there were missing Extended Pascal features.
That I was unaware of.
So I was curious which feature decided that gpc support was "limited" and Prospero presumably "not limited”.
Pardon the negative wording there, it was unintended.
