Subject: page function

Hi folks:

I'm using

GNU Pascal version 20000707, based on gcc-2.95.2 19991024 (release).
Copyright (C) 1987, 1989, 1992-2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

while my student Ryan is using:

GNU Pascal version 2.1 (20020510), based on gcc-2.95.3 20010315 (release).
Copyright (C) 1987-2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I have no problem compiling with

     gpc --standard-pascal \
      --transparent-file-names \
      --no-mixed-comments \
      -O0 \
      -Wall \
      $program.p -o $program

but Ryan has trouble compiling a program that has a call to the
page() function:

alist.p:3960: undeclared identifier `Page' (first use in this routine)

To my surprise, this is listed:

http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/Page.html

as "Page is an ISO 10206 Extended Pascal extension."

Did GPC change between these compilers?  Does the use of page() mean I
cannot use --standard-pascal ?  page() was in the original book!  It
is listed on page 105 (Appendix A) as a standard procedure!
