Hello, I found some information on the official web pages of your project, that the compiler 'completely' supports Borland Pascal syntax. Trying to compile some old BP 7.0 sources with GPC I noticed that the compiler knows nothing about SetTextBuf declared in BP system unit I suppose.
Thanks for the report. As Peter said, such a routine is not really necessary in GPC because GPC files do their own buffer management. But I will add a do-nothing SetTextBuf procedure to the System unit.
BTW, the reason why I missed it was that I looked through BP's system.pas pseudo-unit to see what was missing, and for some reason they call the procedure `BufferText' there, so I didn't see SetTextBuf...
