Hello, everybody!
A new alpha version, gpc-980410, is being uploaded to Agnes:
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/
The major changes affect the DJGPP platform. Some crashes which occured under environments with memory protection (such as OS/2 or Windows 95) are fixed now. Some other minor fixes have been done, too (see `ChangeLog').
The problem was due to a new version of `libc.a' used in gpc-980405 which was necessary in order to fix the I/O problem in gpc-980401. The solution was to combine the old and the new version of `libc.a'. As you can imagine, compilation under DJGPP is now even harder than it was anyway ...
The problem that `gpc' produces `.exe' files named `a.out' is still present. Just rename it, and it will work. :-/
Happy Eastern, :-)
Peter
