According to Bernhard Tschirren:

Ah - I see.  gpc-970510 misinterpretes `^[' as a control character.
It is already fixed in my current development version.  Sorry,
I should have checked it with gpc-970510 before replying ... #-)

To work around this, insert a blank between the `^' and the `['.

> So, when is the next release coming? :-)

Either as soon as I have fixed all pending bugs and I find a day without
new bug reports, or else when I give up fixing them.  ;-)

Seriously, I am now putting in the Integer types discussed during the
last days, and I have two pending bugs: casts of structured types and
duplicate field identifieres.  In addition, due to major changes in the
structure of GPC's source, there are some problems with DJGPP and EMX
we must solve before the release.  :-(  Everything else planned for the
first post-2.0 GPC beta release is finished now.  :-)

Thanks for your patience,
