Thanks for the background. With 400+ programs, unless I can automate fixes it's not going to be feasible. (The assigment could probably be done by rebuilding the source automatically.) The issue for me is that I use (almost) strictly standard Pascal and I could do that using GPC. But GPC on Mac OS X died with the latest Mac "upgrade" to 10.10.5. The translator p2c now also fails. This puts me in a bad position because I rely on these programs to do my science. I'm glad to know that fpc is being developed to handle ISO support now!! Looks like I'll have to wait. Is there an announcement list I could sign up for to get the news when FPC 3.0.2 comes out? Tom Thomas D.
