He lives!!!!! ^_^
Okay, now that we have your attention:
1). Why is "--executable-file-name" such a long option to type? Wouldn't "--exe" be more convenient? 2). DJGPP has a habit of making both "blah" and "blah.exe" when you type "gpc blah.pas -o blah". This also affects your GP program. It's really only useful with *nix makefiles (so the target and file will be recognized), but it's pretty useless and annoying otherwise. Anyways, I suggest "--executable-file-name" should not create those duplicate extensionless files by default (since GPC doesn't really need makefiles, does it? I know --automake is old, GP is "the future", but still ...). 3). Okay, actually, "--executable-file-name" is really useful only in makefiles themselves (or .BAT scripts or similar). Still, it feels wrong to waste space with spurious files, and using "-o blah.exe" instead has to be hardcoded for each target, ugh.
Not a huge deal, just something I wanted to mention (in case anybody cared).
