I am uploading something more recent than gpc-971001 (gpc-971216 - don't get confused when it produces a wrong version number with the `-v' switch) to ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/. This will fix this problem and some others. Sorry for not posting more comments on this "version" of GPC - see ChangeLog for what has happend since gpc-971001. :-I
Thanks for uploading this, it appears to fix a lot of stuff that I have been waiting to try. However I had to do a lot of patching to the makefiles to get it to compile under EMX -- it looks like the RTS had a lot of changes :) .
I'm afraid that in all of the patching I did, I may have missed something, or else read(ln) has been seriously broken as I can't even use simple code like:
program test(input, output);
type string5 = packed array[1..5] of char;
var inname : string5;
begin readln(inname); writeln(inname); end.
It exits with "?Gpc: Incorrect reading of string" no matter what I enter. So I'm stumped as to what might be the problem.
