Hi ! I need your advice -- I want to find stable gpc version suitable for my needs.. I'm run Linux [2.4.6 as for now, and I plan to further upgrades :-)]. I need gpc to compile user programs, which would be likely developed under mics. environment, but generally under DOS with old borland pascal {They think that BP IDE is the best}. Programs are expected to be relatively small, and I don't think that anyone would use OO-extensions more that for few strings, it would at all. Actually, BP compatibility is not REQUIRED, but would be nice. Are there any standards in Pascal like ISO C ?? Personally I don't program Pascal, so I can't judge which one is better. What can you tell me about FPC? Is it worth looking ?? thank you for your opinion. P.s.: If that's wrong list for that type of questions, I'm terrible sorry, could you please direct me to right source? -- "I once witnessed a long-winded, month-long flamewar over the use of mice vs. trackballs...It was very silly."
