Item Type: Note
Hello, there!
Some months ago I tried GPC, which came with my SuSE 5.1 distribution, but I could not use it.
The reason: ----------- GPC DIDN'T ALLOW THE SIMPLEST TURBOPASCAL COMMANDS, f.e. assign(). This and the missing documentation made it nearely impossible to write programs which do more than printing "Hello world..." to the Screen. So I stopped with it immediately because I didn't want to waste time. __________________
Now I definitely have to develop some smaller applications/tools for my Linux server (now SuSE Linux 5.2) and so I am again in the same situation of searching for a *WORKING* compiler. I have heared from a compiler which is VERY similar to TurboPascal and also includes an IDE. I guess, this is NOT GPC - am I right?
Anyway, I hope that GPC has also changed very much and become usable. Has it meanwhile become much more compatible to Turbo-/Borland Pascal? I would like to be able to compile DOS programs with a minimum of changes with GPC.
Please be so kind and leave me some information.
Thanks in advance,
Rainer Hantsch (hantschr@hantsch.co.at)
