Dear Paul,

> Is there any other way?

Yes, of course: translation, moving to FPC. But I am attracted to the idea of updating GPC.

> Do you have no choice but to run 10.15?

There are hundreds of people using my software, and many of them, being academic, use MacOS. I just bought a new Mac, and I can't run my own software on it native.

> Can you run in a virtual machine under 10.15?

Yes, but can't ask my users to do that.

> Can you buy a 64 bit compiler for 10.15 and then find ways to get your code to compile by using workarounds for incompatibilities with GPC?

I had no idea there were commercial Pascal compilers out there. Can you point me to one?

Best, Kevan
