The gpc works now on my Linux Mandrake, it is GREAT, it has many more functionality than Borland Pascal 7
In the crtdemo the ESC key doesn't work to quit, is it a problem of my config ?
Probably -- the problem is that escape sequences of function keys unfortunately start with an escape code as well, so the code has to wait for some time until it can assume it was only an ESC key. You can set this time (in ms) in the environment variable ESCDELAY. E.g., 10 is fine for me on the local console, OTOH over a slogin through a slow network I sometimes need as much as 1000. If you set the value too low, function keys won't work.
I know only Turbo pascal dialect end to understant everything, i need to learn the other dialects used by gpc. Who knows a good documentation for that ?.
The GPC manual contains documentation of some of the features -- unfortunately, a lot is still missing there. But it's worth a look, in particular the "Programming" and "Borland Pascal" chapters. The latter also describes a number of non-BP features and how they are similar to or different from the BP counterparts.
I have some great units.When fully ported and tested under gpc, i will give them to the gpc community (if you accept ).
Looking forward to it.
