Yes, but this does not work on non-DOS platforms.
Hah! , how 'bout this:
------------- ~/.gpcrc -------------------
--borland-pascal --automake
----------------- end ---------------------
and:
------------- /usr/bin/bpc ----------------
#! /bin/sh
if [ -f ~/.gpcrc ] ; then CFG=`cat ~/.gpcrc` ; fi gpc $CFG $*
------------------ end ---------------------
The rest is up to your imagination.
Greetings, JanJaap
