Hi, Marcos!

(Hint: If you insert line breaks into your email it becomes more readable.;-)

I use gpc to make practics, in a asignature in the university of coruña, and the program must run in a solaris machine, with gpc 2.0.

gpc-2.0 is rather old. Your university should upgrade to gpc-19990118, available from:

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/beta/ .

I have in my house linux, rh 5.2 with gpc 2.0, and last year in the university i use sun pascal, to make the practicas and i have a module to manipulate screen, but now don't work in gpc:

gpc-19990118 comes with a portable, BP-compatible CRT unit, based on ncurses, that makes screen manipulation easy.

However ...

procedure CursorXY( x:integer; y:integer); begin write( chr(27), '[', y:0, ';', x:0, 'f'); end;

this procedure to put cursor in coordinates xy, dont work on gpc.

IIRC, gpc-2.0 had a bug to suppress output when writing integers with a field width of zero.

To work around, use:

procedure CursorXY( x:integer; y:integer); begin write( chr(27), '[', y:1, ';', x:1, 'f'); end;

To get rid of the problem, upgrade to gpc-19990118 and use CRT. (Your own CursorXY will work with gpc-19990118 without the workaround, but it will not be portable.)

the other problem, is that i use xxgdb to debug pascal programs but when i wnat to inspect the vaule of a var, i need to write display <var> with te first letter capitalized, but if i click in the var don't work, no solution i found to this problem,

Yes, that's a known problem with GPC and GDB: While Pascal is not case-sensitive, GDB (and therefore xxgdb) is and expects Pascal identifiers Written With The First Letter Capitalized. "Clicking" on the var will probably use the notation as written in your source.

Hope this helps,

Peter
