Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is why I'm writing to you.
We have this address listed as the maintainer for 'gpc'. Can you take a quick look through the information I've assembled to see if everything is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd appreciate it greatly.
FYI- a short explanation of some of the fields.
Programs- any additional programs that come included with this one. Interface- Command line, interactive, X windows, console Support- listed only if it's something other than mailing list support Repository- Any CVS repositories where the program is listed Related- any GNU packages that might be of interest to users of this package Use Requirements- Required for using the executable Build Prereq.- Required for building this package Weak Prereq.- Useful (but not mandatory) to install before building this one Source Prereq.- Packages whose source code must be present in order to build this package.
Please bear in mind that not all packages will have all the fields filled in (in fact, I don't think we've run across any yet that have all the fields filled in).
If there's anything you think should be added (particularly individuals who have contributed) please e-mail me.
Thank you very much for your help!
%%name: gpc
%%short-description: GNU Pascal compiler
%%full-description: A 32/64 bit compiler without the 64kB or 640 kB limit found on certain operating systems (even if run on those systems). It runs on all operating systems supported by GNU C and can act as a native or as a cross compiler between all supported systems. There are a number of GNU extensions that help make the program portable.
