  This is BPcompat 1.0, a package for GNU Pascal to achive as much
  compatibility to Borland Pascal as possible and reasonable - a goal
  not yet reached.  The package consits of

      README          -  this file

      libgpc.a        -  a patched GPC runtime library

      rts-bind.c      -  patched source for libgpc.a
      rts-writ.c

      system.pas      -  the Borland compatibility Units.
      crt.pas            Graph is just a renamed version of
      graph.pas          Sven Hilscher's BGI2GRX Unit.

      crtdemo.pas     -  demo programs which compile both with
      appleman.pas       GNU Pascal and Borland Pascal

      fractals.pas    -  a demo program for GNU Pascal only

  See the individual files for copyright notices.

  There is no Printer Unit yet because it caused unexpected problems
  to write one, but with the patched libgpc.a you can print by 
  assigning a file to "prn", rewriting it, etc.

  To use Graph, you need the packages BCC2GRX and GRX20 and you
  have to specify "-lbcc2 -lgrx20" when linking.  If you are using
  RHIDE, specify and activate "bcc2" and "grx20" (in this order!)
  in "Options/Libraries".

  To install BPcompat, backup your \djgpp\lib\libgpc.a and move
  the included libgpc.a to \djgpp\lib.  As long as there are
  problems with the GPI mechanism it is best to copy the source
  files of the individual Units System, CRT, and Graph to your
  working directory.

  Have fun,
