Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is why I'm writing to you.

We have this address listed as the maintainer for 'gpc'. Can you take a quick look through the information I've assembled to see if everything is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thank you very much for your help!

%%full-description: A 32/64 bit compiler without the 64kB or 640 kB limit found on certain operating systems (even if run on those systems). It runs on all operating systems supported by GNU C and can act as a native or as a cross compiler between all supported systems.

Please insert here:

It implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206, aiming for full compliance), is highly compatible to Borland Pascal (version 7.0) with some Delphi extensions, and provides a lot of useful GNU extensions to help make programs portable.

%%maintainer: gpc-request@hut.fi

That's an obsolete subscription address of the mailing list. The current maintainer is Peter Gerwinski peter@gerwinski.de.

%%keywords: Compiler, C, 32 bit, 64 bit

I think this should be Pascal rather than C. :-)

%%web-page: http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/

Or shorter:

http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/

(which is a redirector to the other URL).

%%redhat: ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu/pascal/gpc-2.0.tar.gz

Version 2.0 is very old. If there's no newer version at this place, please don't mention it and refer to the main source archive on agnes instead.

%%repository:

Coming very soon. You'll get a separate message from Peter about it.

%%related:

ncurses, gmp, rx

%%source-language: C

Parts of the run time system are written in Pascal and will be built with the freshly built compiler during the make process. Therefore, it might not be necessary to mention it here, depending on your policy...

%%build-prerequisites:

GNU make, sed, awk

When getting the sources from CVS, also autoconf, flex, bison, gperf, makeinfo.

%%source-prerequisites:

gcc

%%announce-list: gpc-announce@gnu.org %%bug-list: bug-gpc@gnu.org

Do these addresses exist? I was only aware of gpc-announce@gnu.de and gpc@gnu.de .
