The home site of GNU Pascal is ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal
(mirror : ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/gnu/pascal/)

The source .ZIP is so big because the current version of GPC is based
on GCC 2.6.3 and that is included.

There are two binary distributions: gpc112b.zip (ISO/ISO Extended Pascal)
and gpt112b.zip (same, but with experimental support for Borland Pascal
language extensions)

GPC is currently in beta and so is the documentation ;) Look for a file
called "GPC.GUIDE"

The ISO Pascal standards are online at
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Pascal/
