GPC was written in C ... unlike FPC. This was way before GCC 4.8

Thanks for the reply. It turns out the software is trying to write to
the com port on exit, which I'm assuming expects to find a modem there.
There was a modem connected, but wasn't turned on. With the modem on, I
don't get the error. Also if there is nothing connected to the port, the

Hi,
They all have different purposes and implementations. I'm not
complaining (much). But Wirth himself doesn't use anything except
Oberon-07 anymore.
I read somewhere once that Wirth said that oberon was what pascal was intended
to be.
I can't remember

Hi,
My 2 cents worth…
Like Mateusz mentioned… There is no guarantee that the BIOS will permit disk
writes to a booted USB stick. However since you intend on supporting only your
personal machines, you can just do a quick test and not worry about that. A
quick and dirty test would be to burn t

Hi,
GNU Pascal's main claim to fame (besides "Borland Pascal 7" support)
was also supporting both ISO standards (7185, 10206). There are DJGPP
builds available. But GNU Pascal hasn't been maintained in many years.
Still, it works!

Hi Nico,
Are you interested in access to system hardware and files?
Or simply your editor and the files you are using on the usb drive?
And UEFI could be a problem if you are thinking of hardware not in your
