Frank:
I reported a bug in GPC some months ago: http://www.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/mail11285.html http://www.gnu-pascal.de/crystal/gpc/en/mail11309.html Recently someone in Hong Kong was working with my programs and the bug was still there. I think she has the most recent version of GPC,
Does she? Perhaps she has 20041218?
Yes, I found later out that she indeed does have 20041218.
It has been included:
@item 20050130: in standard Pascal modes, @samp{EOF} is false on an empty file (tom7.pas)
tom7.pas:
{$classic-pascal}
Thanks!
My sysadmin set up a recent alpha but it crashed on a simple 'hello world' program. Is 20041218 the most recent stable version? I couldn't figure it out from the download or installation instructions at
http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html
The downloads seem to have only 20041218 and an alpha but it is not clearly stated on the pages what is what ...
So - is there a non-alpha version that incorporates that change?
Is there some place on the web site that tells this that I missed? (I don't see how you determined the above, for example.)
Regards,
Tom

Yes, it is. However, an alpha should not be as unstable as in not being able to compile a simple program. (It's just been tested somewhat less thorough than a beta.) If you provide more information, readers of the list can probably help you set it up working. (Error messages, system and version, backend version, etc., the usual stuff ...)

Not yet.

See the (2nd) URL in my sig.
