Peter,

  Thanks MUCH for all your work on gpc.  You have greatly improved the
compiler!!  

I do have a couple of questions about the most recent alpha.

>  * Field widths now default to left-justified output.

Did I miss a discussion on this?  Doesn't this break a lot of programs?
Or is this with "--borland-pascal"?

>  * `For' now accepts components of structured variables as control
>    variables, e.g. "for myarray [ i ]:= 1 to 100 do ...".

Why?
