Hello, folks! Did somebody already announce GPC 2.6.3 with Borland extensions to the NewsGroups? If not, I am planning to crosspost the following to comp.lang.pascal.misc, comp.lang.pascal.borland, and comp.lang.pascal.iso-ansi: 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NewsGroups: comp.lang.pascal.misc,comp.lang.pascal.borland,comp.lang.pascal.ansi-iso Followup-To: comp.lang.pascal.misc This is the announcement of version 1.1-2.6.3 of GNU Pascal (The announcement is somehow late since the actual release was on 19. December 1995. This won't happen again with the release of the next version.) -------- GNU Pascal is, as the name says, the Pascal compiler from the GNU family. This means: - 32 bit compiler, no limits, highly optimizing - runs on most operating systems (including DOS, OS/2, Linux, or any other UNIX) - FreeWare according to the GNU General Public License - compatible to other GNU tools such as GNU C and GNU debugger The compiler accepts the following language standards: - ISO 7185 Standard Pascal - ISO 10206 Extended Pascal (90%) - Borland Pascal (80%) Some highlights: - from Extended Pascal: complex numbers, initialized variables, structured function return values, modules - from Borland Pascal: inc, dec, shl, shr, absolute variables, units, objects - GNU extensions: min, max, (PXSC-style) user-definable operators -------- The source for the ISO compiler (and more information) is available from ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal Additional source for Borland Pascal compatible (and other) extensions is at ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/turbo-alpha Binaries for DOS and OS/2 (with the EMX extender) and for Linux (a.out) are in ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/binary Binaries for DOS (with the GO32 extender) and for Linux (elf) are in ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/incoming ;-) If you want to join the gpc mailing list, write to gpc-request@hut.fi. The address of the list is gpc@hut.fi. -------- Peter Gerwinski <peter.gerwinski@uni-essen.de> 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is this okay, or too long, or whatever? If you have any improvements, please let me know. Bug reports for my English are also most welcome. :-) Yours, Peter ******************* NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS! ******************* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.
