According to Berend de Boer:
[...]
gpc isn't developed for the dos platform.
GPC has been developped for *all* platforms including DOS. :-)
Borland excellently fills that need.
No.
Borland *did* excellently fill that need, but there has been no progress in Borland Pascal since BP 7.0 appeared in 1992 - 5 years ago. Borland does not support the DOS platform any more so there *is* need for a better Pascal compiler for DOS which allows to orientate towards Linux, OS/2 and other systems as alternatives to Windows 95.
I want gpc to create truly platform independent programs for my unix machine.
Here we agree completely. (-:
