So, it seems that gpc is not for me. That free pascal compiler is installed and running, but I guess that is not better than dcc, the Kylix object pascal compiler. I have the Kylix package, but since they do not specify the relation of Borland Object Pascal to Standard Pascal, and in fact only the simplest constructs from Standard Pascal seem to work under dcc, I looked for some standard Pascal compiler.
I have to keep some code compilable on various platforms so I use GPC under Linux on i386 and Solaris on Sparc machines. For the last it is the only possible solution for me. Under Linux I also use Free Pascal and Kylix, under Windows Free Pascal and Delphi. In my case the only advantage of Borland tools is the speed of compilation, the generated code is not as good as that of Free Pascal in some situations. And of course Borland provides that nice RAD environment but I'm not very interested in it. Anyway, you have to choose by yourself the compiler which suits your needs. Regards, Adam Naumowicz
