Node:GPC Units, Next:I18N, Previous:Run Time System, Up:Programming
GPC distributions now include a number of useful Pascal units and a
complete set of BP compatibility units - except for the
Graph
unit (which is currently distributed separately due to
its license) and the OOP stuff. The main use of these units is to
provide a way to port BP programs to GPC as easily as possible. Some
of the units also implement functionaliy not available otherwise.
Most of the BP compatibility units - except CRT
and
Printer
- are merely meant to let programs written for BP
compile with GPC as easily as possible. They should not be used in
newly written code, and for code ported from BP to GPC, it is
suggested to replace them successively with the more powerful - and
often easier to use - alternatives that GPC's Run Time System
(see Run Time System) offers.
The following sections describe all units included with GPC (besides
the GPC
module which describes the interface to the Run Time
System, Run Time System).
