According to Thomas Tan:

I need to create a new text file, put some string in it, and save it to disk. Is this possible in GPC?

With gpc-971001 you can do it just like with Borland Pascal: Program Hello; Var MyFile: Text; S: String [ 42 ]; begin S:= 'Hello, world!'; Assign ( MyFile, 'hello.dat' ); rewrite ( MyFile ); writeln ( MyFile, S ); close ( MyFile ); end.
