Thanks Emil and Frank for clarifying the page function issue.
http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/Page.html as "Page is an ISO 10206 Extended Pascal extension."

I see that this is still there - is there a mechanism for making sure it gets fixed? Also, it would be very useful to have the ISO definitions listed all on one page and for the url given above and all others in the documentation to point to the definitions page. (A script could be built that does this automatically of course.) The definitions page could then point to the individual documents.

Attachments are removed from the gpc list, so this didn't come through. On the other hand, it is probably easier for Rye to just upgrade the entire compiler.
Thanks!

It will be fixed with the next release. (I don't usually update the web page for every change, unless it's very serious.)

Yes, seems useful. I might do it with the next release.

Not by the list software. Perhaps your mail system removes them. You can always find them in the archives:
