## 3.5 GPC Manual

- Some very obsolete sections of the manual (e.g., the output of running the PVS test suite on an Alpha machine in 1995 ;-) were removed.

- The manual was restructured. Several partly overlapping chapters were included into the Programmer's Guide, and the overlapping material was merged into more coherent sections.

- The BP QuickStart Guide was left a separate chapter and completed with a section about differences between BP and GPC, especially mentioning endianness issues.

- A lot of new material was added to the ``Programming'` and ``Reference'` chapters.

- The list of command-line options and the list of keywords for the various dialects were updated, and from now on, they are automatically kept up to date, directly from the source. The ``Invoking GPC'` chapter does not contain all options inherited from GCC anymore (these can be found in the GCC manual, anyway), but rather more extensive descriptions of the most commonly used GPC options, with examples.

- The interface of all units included with GPC, together with a short description of the units, is now included in the manual. The interface, also that of the ``GPC'` module which describes the interface to the Run Time System, is formatted more nicely, especially in the printed version of the manual.

- The ``Support'` chapter was updated, now including information about GPC's Test Suite and how to report bugs most effectively, as well as up-to-date contact information.

- The installation instructions were updated, now matching the current GPC and GCC versions.

- The FAQ, the To-Do list, and the list of new features (this one :-) were integrated into the manual.

- The list of authors in the manual was updated, and the list of contributors was included from the WWW page.

- The manual was integrated with GPC's WWW pages, i.e. most of the WWW pages were synchronized with the corresponding information in the manual, and both now contain the same information.

- The GNU Pascal Coding Standards (English, German and Croatian) have been added.

- Translation of the manual into Croatian has started.
