Hello,
I have tried to execute the simple program
PROGRAM test(input, output);
TYPE s(a,b:integer) = ARRAY[a..b] OF real;
VAR x:s(5,6); i:integer;
BEGIN writeln(x.a:3,x.b:3); END.
It should write "5 6" on the output. At a HP system it writes "0 0".
I am sorry but i am using a rather old version of gpc: version 19980830, based on gcc-egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release) on a HP-system: HP-UX rug102 B.10.20 A 9000/735 2011278599
The Linux implementation, which I have also checked, does not suffer from this bug. I have not found this bug in neither the list of known bugs nor the list of fixed bugs.
With kind regards,
Rudy Moddemeijer

Think the problem is that version is just too old. If you want a gpc that's not cutting edge but works fairly well upgrade to the 19991030 release. If you don't have the gcc source you might as well go the whole distance and get a recient gpc release and gcc-2.95.2 source.
You can get the gpc source from ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/
hope this helps Russ
