Get the most recent version!

The upcoming next version of GPC is in beta test stage. We already can recommend its use over that of gpc-2.0, the last official release. Just download it from ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/beta/. We also recommend to join the GNU Pascal mailing list for up-to-date information and efficient support.

New features since version 2.0

We have significantly improved both the compatibility to Borland Pascal and to ISO-10206 Extended Pascal. For a detailed list of changes since version 2.0 see the GPC TODO list. Beware - there are lots of changes! ;-)

Co-workers welcome!

Able, committed programmers are always welcome in the GNU Pascal team. If you want to be independent of companies that you must pay for getting a compiler with more restrictive licensing conditions that only runs on one operating system, be invited to join the development team.
