According to Sven Hilscher:

I tryed to use the famous function pointers, but I can't compile this stuff. I tryed the example from info files - the same sh...

[...]

Now it's your turn ... what's wrong?

GPC. :-(

It's broken. But it *did* work!

I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

How I can put the stderr output in a file? I'm using DJGPP.

That's in the DJGPP FAQ, section 6.9.

It's possible to speed up the standard compilation of gpc for my pentium? What's the floating point type of gpc's complex numbers?

That's in the DJGPP FAQ, chapter 7. An additional hint: Stubedit the linker (\djgpp\bin\ld.exe) to get a transfer buffer with the maximum size of 64k:

G:\DJGPP\BIN> stubedit ld.exe ... Size of real-memory transfer buffer [...]: 64k

According to my experience, time is wasted not in the compilation pass, but during linking.

Anybody is using my graph unit "BGI2GRX"?

Und ob!

Yes. For most of my friends, this was the final argument to try GPC. :-)

I'm working on a direct GRX20-Unit (contexts, mouse, ...) but I don't know if it's needed by anybody else me.

8-)

I would really prefer to work with a direct GRX20 Unit because I expect it to be more powerful than Borland's "BGI" interface. So please go on with it! :-)

However I join Sven in asking: Anybody is using Objects with GPC?

I am thinking about improving object functionality, but if I am the only one who uses them, it's not worth the effort because GPC's objects essentially meet my needs like they are right now.
