Dear GNU Pascal development team, I wonder if you could please answer a couple of quick questions for me. I have been using Borland TPW1.5 and have many thousands of line of Pascal code , some for the WinCrt unit but mainly have used WObjects,WinTypes, WinProcs,Strings & BWCC units in combination with OOP programming and resources defined in the resource workshop.
I will be switching to Linux before the end of the year and departing the Windows platform forever. GNU Pascal looks like it will be the perfect replacement for TPW1.5 and still mean I can retain the same(or similar) code.
If I compile my programs in GNU Pascal will they work directly (i.e does GNU Pascal convert all the calls to XWindows calls) or will they have to be run via the Linux filter Wine ? The other possibility is how easy would it be to convert my current programs to Linux/Xwindows programs making use of your Linux libraries ?
Thankyou for your help, I have only found out about GNU Pascal today and am very pleased that someone is producing such a language & compiler.
Best Regards Kevin Rees
