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:

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 ;-)

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
