Subject: Sun Drops Pascal?

Dear GPC Folks:

GPC is poised to become even more important.

My Sysadmin found out the following:

"I sent an online query using SunSolve about the status of the Pascal
compiler.  A Sun support person just called and said it was no longer a SUN
product.  He said its last ship date was 1997 and SUN's End-of-Service life
policy says some support 4-5 years after last ship date."

"SUN apparently has decided to drop the product and someone purchasing a new
SUN may not be able to purchase the compiler from SUN.  The SUN web site
refers to the Edinburgh Portable Compilers and their EPC Pascal-E product.
www.epc.co.uk/pce.html"

"Best hope is probably the "gpc" effort."

I agree with him ... Keep up the good work!!
(I'll continue to help when I can.)
