FYI,

After a bit of fiddlling I've got record initialisers (initializers) to work. HP Pascal, DEC VMS Pascal and gpc all use different syntax. I don't suppose that it matters much as the code works, but gpc 20030323 (MinGW) gives warning:

"GPC currently ignores indices and field names in initializers"

Here is a demo program.

program test(input, output);

type tX = record a : integer; b : double; end;

type tAX = array[0..1] of tX;

var AX : tAX value [ 0: [a:5; b:6.00]; 1: [a:3; b:-8.0] ];

begin writeln(AX[0].a); writeln(AX[1].b); writeln("Finished"); end.
