I would do that when the Extended Pascal port is completed and the object extensions are added (I think it's not wise to use Borland style objects).

Why not? Borland style objects have some advantages with respect to those of Object Pascal (Delphi). Concerning portability, GNU Pascal itself is portable, and I don't know any Object Pascal compiler except Delphi. (I have heared about Object Pascal for the Apple Macintosh, but never seen it.) So there is no compiler around (except those of Borland) to preserve compatibility to.

Last time I really looked at gpc (beginning 1995) it missed simply too much.

What is missing? If you publish a list, perhaps somebody would like to do the job of implementing it. Or do it by yourself -- it should be relatively easy since Borland style objects work in GNU Pascal.

Yours,
