Here is our GNU Pascal graphic as a small JPEG (3 kB),
without or with a frame,
as a large JPEG (59 kB), and as a
large PNG (10 kB) graphic. Due to
patent problems
we do not use GIF files. Fortunately
the PNG format,
the successor of GIF, does not have this problem - and introduces
better compression and more advanced features anyway.
By the way, the color gradient that makes our page background is a JPEG of only 695 bytes.

RHIDE is the integrated development environment (IDE) for GNU Compilers on DOS (DJGPP) or Linux, written by Robert Höhne (RH). The home page of RHIDE is

BPcompat used to be a collection of Units for the DJGPP version of GNU Pascal, intended to achive as much compatibility to Borland Pascal as possible. After a joint effort of The African Chief, Frank and Peter, it is now portable to all platforms and integrated into the main distribution line of GPC. Just do uses CRT in your programs ...
BGI2GRX is a graphics Unit for GNU Pascal, compatible to Borland's Graph unit, written by Sven Hilscher. BGI2GRX is based on the GRX and BCC2GRX libraries. To use it, you need
Although GRX, BCC2GRX and BGI2GRX are distributed with DJGPP, a DOS programming platform, they are portable to Linux with SVGAlib and to all Unix-like systems running the X11 window system. A port to MS-Windows 9x/NT is being worked on.
The standard specifications of ISO-7185 Standard Pascal and ISO-10206 Extended Pascal are available in PostScript format at
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Pascal/.
Please note that Standard Pascal is not the same as Borland Pascal nor a subset of it. Our "about" page lists examples of Standard Pascal features that are missing in Borland Pascal. The ANSI-ISO Pascal FAQ (132 kB, characters) by Scott A. Moore discusses the differences between both dialects in detail.
Free Pascal (former FPK Pascal or FPC) is a free 32-bit Pascal compiler written by Florian Klämpfl. While GNU Pascal integrates several ISO and de-facto Pascal standards and puts special care on portability, Free Pascal focuses on compatibility to Borland Pascal compilers on Intel- and m68k-based platforms. The Free Pascal home page is

Programming activities of small companies and individuals are threatened by software patents. If you are a programmer, you are in danger, too! Your employer or yourself might be sued by a large company holding a patent on some ideas you are using in your programs. (You need not use foreign code in order to become vulnerable.)
