Dear GPC Folks:

GPC is poised to become even more important.

My Sysadmin found out the following:

"I sent an online query using SunSolve about the status of the Pascal compiler. A Sun support person just called and said it was no longer a SUN product. He said its last ship date was 1997 and SUN's End-of-Service life policy says some support 4-5 years after last ship date."

"SUN apparently has decided to drop the product and someone purchasing a new SUN may not be able to purchase the compiler from SUN. The SUN web site refers to the Edinburgh Portable Compilers and their EPC Pascal-E product. www.epc.co.uk/pce.html"

"Best hope is probably the "gpc" effort."

I agree with him ... Keep up the good work!! (I'll continue to help when I can.)
