                           GNU Pascal for MS-DOS

This is the "easy" GNU Pascal installation version. It is targeted towards
those who do not have DJGPP installed, and do not want to spend time
collecting all the necessary parts. If you already have DJGPP, this is not
for you. In this case, installing gpc20b.zip (or whatever newer version)
into your existing DJGPP installation should be enough.

The subdirectories are organized as follows:

 disk1..5       All you need to install GNU Pascal. Can be copied onto
                1.44M diskettes.
 contrib        Contributed material
 docs           Documentation in .ps, .dvi and .html formats.
 source         Source code of everything on disk1 .. disk5

The minimum you must download is disk1..5. `contrib', `docs' and `source'
are optional.

To install, run `install.exe' from disk1.  Please add a few MB to the
required diskspace computed by `install', especially for disks with big
cluster sizes.

The installation program does not make the required modifications to
AUTOEXEC.BAT. You have to edit it by hand, and (assuming you installed
to `c:\djgpp'):

1) Add `c:\djgpp\bin' to PATH
2) Add the line `set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env'

If you want to save some diskspace, you can safely delete the
`c:\djgpp\include' subdirecory, GPC won't use it.

More information can be found on the internet:

Additional DJGPP components can be downloaded from simtelnet:

This is the first "easy install" GPC release. If you have any questions or
problems, contact me.

Known problems:
1) Although texinfo is supplied, it won't read gpc.inf.
2) The GPC docs in the `docs' subdirectory are out of date.

Happy GPC-ing!
