temporary spamcop listing

[Anja Gerwinski]

Hi all,

an automated response from the majordomo list software got our mailing
list server in spamcop's blacklist for one day. They removed us quickly
upon request. From the list mail bounces I see that some of you
missed out on three mails that went via the gpc list on that day. 
I am attaching them below. To those of you using spamcops blacklist, be
warned. Servers get in too quickly in my opinion.

Best wishes,

  Anja

That's the GCC version. Run `gpc -v'.

Oh yes. GPC is version 20030830.

BTW it seems realy buggy on windows ( or windows is
buggy itself ;-)
Today I found that my program can't read BMP (image)
header with GPC. The record I use for this is started
from two bytes ( I tried also two char, shortword,
shortint ) followed by integer, integer ... It reads
first two bytes OK, then skips two bytes more and
starts to read first integer from offset 4 ??? Magic.

Peter.

Please send an example of such code. I doubt that this particular 
problem is a GPC bug. I use GPC under Mingw (including 20030830) for 
all sorts of things that require quite low-level file access 
(manipulating zip and other types of archives for example) and I for 
one have never had any problem with parsing headers of BMP (or any 
other kind of) files. Indeed I have a GPC program (a sample program for 
an OOP framework that I am developing) that opens and displays bitmap 
files of all sorts.

It may well be that the problem is in something that you are doing.

Best regards, The Chief
