Hello,
this is one of the non-spam postings that got delayed. As I am not sure who is taking care of the .texi documentation, I am forwarding it to the list.
Best wishes,
Anja

Thanks for the reponse about my postings to the GNU Pascal list. They report minor typos in the manuals. Copies are attached below: they probably only need to go to a single person who can make the corrections and update the archive; the whole gpc list need not be bothered with them.
