According to Hans Ecke:
Please excuse me, this is not a mail about GPC in special, but Pascal in general. I'm searching for an regular expression library - I mean something like
function pos(SearchPattern;S:string):integer
just like BPs build in Pos(SubString,String):integer function. Of course their is Unix-regexp (in C), but if somebody already had done it in Pascal, why do unnecessary work of translation?
What about writing a GPC unit that interfaces GNU regex and/or GNU rx?
Beside this, I have the suggestion to build at agnes.dida a little archive of rare plants and vegetables which you seldom find at the net - like Lex/Yacc and maybe some Programming help (but not yet another SWAG mirror). Of course this is Peters decission and I dont know if it would be usefull. It depends, if their are enough good things on the HD of the list members and if we think of the same if I say "rare good tools and docs for Pascal Programming". We could make a start with what is crawling at agnes.dida/gnu-pascal/misc.
I would not mind to have such an archive on Agnes, but we must carefully choose what to put there and what not to put there. We must not collect just everything written in Pascal; having an overfull and/or badly documented archive is as useless as having no archive at all.
As Agnes is devoted to GNU (that's why I have chosen a name containing "gn":-), I would require everything to be free, i.e. available in source code and without restrictions to use it even commercially.
And it would be desirable to have everything ported to GNU Pascal.

I would suggest to
* announce such an archive in the Homepage * make a directory, where new items go inside. They will stay there some time (2 weeks?) if after that time, nobody has protested against them, they would be moved to the archive. This could be done rather easily. To stay in time, the files can be put in meantime to the archive via symbolic links.
