Hello, folks!

Did somebody already announce GPC 2.6.3 with Borland extensions to
the NewsGroups?

If not, I am planning to crosspost the following to
comp.lang.pascal.misc, comp.lang.pascal.borland, and
comp.lang.pascal.iso-ansi:

NewsGroups: comp.lang.pascal.misc,comp.lang.pascal.borland,comp.lang.pascal.ansi-iso
Followup-To: comp.lang.pascal.misc

  This is the announcement of version 1.1-2.6.3 of

    GNU Pascal 

  (The announcement is somehow late since the actual release
  was on 19. December 1995.  This won't happen again with the
  release of the next version.)

  --------

  GNU Pascal is, as the name says, the Pascal compiler 
  from the GNU family. This means:

   - 32 bit compiler, no limits, highly optimizing
   - runs on most operating systems 
     (including DOS, OS/2, Linux, or any other UNIX)
   - FreeWare according to the GNU General Public License
   - compatible to other GNU tools such as GNU C and GNU debugger

  The compiler accepts the following language standards:

   - ISO 7185 Standard Pascal
   - ISO 10206 Extended Pascal (90%)
   - Borland Pascal (80%)

  Some highlights:

   - from Extended Pascal: complex numbers, initialized variables,
     structured function return values, modules
   - from Borland Pascal: inc, dec, shl, shr, absolute variables,
     units, objects
   - GNU extensions: min, max, (PXSC-style) user-definable operators

  --------

  The source for the ISO compiler (and more information) is 
  available from

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal

  Additional source for Borland Pascal compatible (and other)
  extensions is at

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/turbo-alpha

  Binaries for DOS and OS/2 (with the EMX extender) and for
  Linux (a.out) are in

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/binary

  Binaries for DOS (with the GO32 extender) and for Linux (elf)
  are in

    ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/incoming  ;-)

  If you want to join the gpc mailing list, write to
  gpc-request@hut.fi. The address of the list is gpc@hut.fi.

Is this okay, or too long, or whatever?

If you have any improvements, please let me know.
Bug reports for my English are also most welcome. :-) 

Yours,

    Peter
