According to FPL:
Gee! What is it about? 150000 pascal source code?
A CAD application.
Also, the rhide url and the old GPC info moping about the lack of borland pascal likewise IDE make me ask this question: what's better than emacs, using pascal mode, for writting pascal? Don't you think Borland ide is just ugly, unusable, unefficient, vomitting? Never understood why you made such a mess about it.
Whether you prefer Emacs or RHIDE (or BP's IDE) is a matter of taste (or of religion;-). Definitely, today's most Pascal programmers are coming from a DOS/BP background and are accustomed to BP's IDE.
[...] IMHO, the actual problem of using GPC for a user who is not maintening and trakcing the GPC bugs is that he is so sure all his problem are coming from the compiler and not from himself or his debugger! [...]
Any suggestions what could be done about that (e.g. concrete improvements for error messages) are welcome.
