The majority of Pascal programmers use a Borland product, nobody disagrees about
that. However, the majority of programmers are they using Borland or did they
use Borland. Wil they prefer Borland compatibility? I don't.

gpc isn't developed for the dos platform. Borland excellently fills that need. I
want gpc to create truly platform independent programs for my unix machine.
