It is.
To be sure that there is nothing wrong in the upload to agnes
I have deinstalled cleanly (rm -f @manifest\soso.mft)
gcc and gpc, reinstalled gcc2952b.zip from simtelnet and gpc2952b.zip
freshly downloaded from agnes (at the moment it was the 20010315 snapshot),
compiled and run the gpc demo programs and a couple of more complex programs
of mine (which use grx24 and the cephes libml library). Everything is okay.
If your previous gpc on djgpp was old the first idea is to check:
you have gcc2952b
you have the sections [gpc] and [gpcpp] in djgpp.env
(in particular [gpcpp] was [gpc-cpp] in older gpc versions)
I have bnu210. Do you have an older ? In principle this should make
no difference with gcc2952. Differences come with 2953
Hope this helps.

Maurice
