Hello, everybody!
I was asked for binaries of the GPC alpha version because some people (including myself :-) had trouble to compile it, especially on non-UNIX systems.
I am now uploading binaries of the current alpha GPC for Linux (elf) and for DOS (DJGPP) to ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/.
The "current alpha GPC" means of course gpc-970219, not the obsolete and buggy gpc-970215. ;-)
Changes from gpc-970215 to gpc-970219:
* Everything which treads `Char' as an ordinal type (e.g. `ord', `min', `succ', `case') works again. (It was broken in gpc-970215.)
* Initialized `Char' variables work again; `array of char' variables now can be initialized with a String value. :)
* Chars above chr ( 127 ) did not work in some situations, e.g. as `case' labels. Now they do.
* According to Extended Pascal, you can assign String constants to Chars. The empty String yields a space character.
That's it for the moment.
Yours,
Peter
