Hello, world!
This is an announcement of a new library for GNU Pascal:
BO5
It is only a pre-alpha release (version 0.01), but it should give you
- some Borland-like tools such as Assign, FillChar, ParamStr, GetEnv, Random, - direct keyboard access via KeyPressed and ReadKey function, - direct screen access with colors.
You need turbo-1.1-gpc-2.6.3 (i.e. the first bug fix for the GPC with Borland extensions, released together with BO5 on 19. December 1995) to compile BO5.
BO5 is intended to run on *all* platforms on which GPC runs. If not, or if you have some other comment/suggestion/bug report, please write to
pege@mail.theo-phys.uni-essen.de
If your comment is of general interest for all GPC users, you should better write to the gpc-list
gpc@hut.fi
I have uploaded BO5 to kampi.hut.fi and to ftp.uni-augsburg.de. In Augsburg, it can already be downloaded from
/pub/gnu/gnu-pascal/turbo-alpha
For more information, please read the files README.BO5 and README.001.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Yours,
Peter
