I don't really know how many of you currently use GPC, and to what extent and in which ways, e.g., do you use it just to maintain some legacy code, or are you actively writing new applications?
JFTR, we use it to maintain legacy code that has been written 30+ years ago but is still in production use. This is dying off, though, as most of the old ASCII based application is moving to a new Java based GUI.
So while we're extremely happy that GPC is there, and is working on AIX (while IBM's pascal is no longer supported), we expect that our pascal usage will disappear over the next few years. So for us, "maintaining status quo" is sufficient.
But let me use this opportunity to say a big thank you to you, and to the other GPC developers - it was really good for us to have a different option than IBM, do change our software in our own pace.
