I am writing a shell for GPC - "GPCC.PAS" (in Borland Pascal). All that

it

does is to parse the command line, parse the source file to see whether it is a unit/module or a program (and pass the necessary "-o" or "-c" switch accordingly, read a file called "GPCC.CFG", add any switches

found

in it to the list of parameters obtained from the command line, and then, run "GPC" with the whole list of parameters.

I thought that gpc was similar to gcc(I'm not that familiar with gpc -- it won't build with the cygnus source tree I use)..isn't gpc.exe like gcc.exe in that it's just a shell for ccp.exe and cc1.exe, as.exe, ld.exe ,etc,etc.

It would be just as easy to write a whole new gnubpc.exe shell...? It would be cleaner perhaps...
