You might want to try this instead (unzip to "c:\usr\"):

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/gpc-20000401-i386-
mingw32msvc.zip

This is more up-to-date, much faster (and much more stable) than the 
Cygwin version referred to above. It also contains pre-compiled units 
to access WinAPI routines. The WinAPI stuff is still work-in-progress 
(as is a Delphi-compatible "sysutils" unit).  If anyone wishes to help 
me with them, please drop me a line.

Best regards, The Chief
