Hi, Tony,

Finally something easy enough for me to reply - so others would save their
time, and I could be a contributing member of list society ;-)

% cat > hello.pas
program hello(output);
begin
  WriteLn ('Hello, world!')
end.
^D
% gpc -o hello hello.pas

So, it's rather easy, you just replace g++ with gpc, and apply on
corresponding source.

You can use:

% gpc --help

to see a short list of available options, and ``info gpc'' to learn more
about gpc options, compiler itself and language.
