I think that for many applications you actually *need* the Borland "non-standard". For example, for lo-level programming you need a bitwise "and" and a bit-shift operator for integers. Moreover, I feel
Hmm ... Extended Pascal doesn't have this then? BTW - does anybody know if the Extended Pascal specs have been posted yet? Somebody up on comp.lang.pascal.ansi-iso said he was gonna do it .. I'm wondering if he did it yet.
I don't know of an explicit Linux version at kampi.hut.fi, but GPC compiles straightforwardly under Linux. Nevertheless, I have archives with ready-to-run binaries for EMX (DOS and OS/2) as well as for Linux. Shall I upload them?
I'm sure a bunch of OS/2 users would thank you for it if you did upload it. I know I would. Just be sure to drop a note in the OS/2 programmer newsgroups.
