Re: Pascal program file parameter to Ada translation (Was: Re: Is GPC dead?)

Dear Leo,

Thank you for your continued assistance.

I see.

That's convincing.

Also convincing.

Despite my initial skepticism, FPC and Ada are both able to implement 
dynamic schema types, with some translation. So that's one long-term 
solution if we cannot prolong the life of GPC, and is a relief to me.
